AbstractReliable measurements of the Soil Water Retention Curve, SWRC, are necessary for solving unsaturated flow problems. In this sense, a method to obtain the SWRC of a silty sand using a flow pump, as well as details about procedures and some results, are herein presented. The overall conclusion is that the new method is very convenient, fully automated, and produces reliable results in a fast and easy way, making the technique very promising.
