Comparison of four methods to assess hydraulic conductivity

Article Abstract:

Soil permeability models are evaluated according to accuracy and applicability. The sealed double ring infiltrometer method is rated the most reliable in situ, with other methods including two-stage borehole and large block specimen testing.
