Abstract

In all types of soil and water engineering computations where soil is a medium to work with knowledge about infiltration characteristics is extremely essential. Infiltration was measured in double ring infiltrometer and check basins. Check basin method was found to be better infiltration measurement technique in black soils. Cumulative infiltration measured in 2m x 2m check basins in black soils at Navsari was represented by equation. IC 35670 M-2.653 0.640 where 'IC' is cumulative infiltration in mm, 'M' is antecedent moisture content in percentage and 't' is elapsed time in minute.
