Abstract:
The downward moment of water from the surface into the soil is called infiltration. Infiltration of water into the soil can be determined by a simple instrument called Double ring infiltrometer. Four types of cylinders are taken for this experiment of diameter 15 cm, 30 cm, 45 cm & 60 cm and they are experimented as 15-45 cm & 30-60 cm double ring infiltrometer. The cylindrical ring infiltrometer consist of single metal cylinder. These cylinders are partially inserted into the ground and water is filled up to a margin inside the cylinder and after that the speed of penetration of water is measured with respect to the time and depth of penetration of water inside the cylinder by point gauge. To spread the water vertically after infiltration we use double ring infiltrometer. Double ring infiltrometer is better than single ring infiltrometer. In single ring infiltrometer the water will spread horizontally & vertically both, from which water will not move only towards the ground water but using double ring infiltrometer the water will penetrate in one direction that is towards the ground water without much wastage of water.
