To determine the soil infiltration characteristics of pine and acacia plantations, we used a double-ring infiltrometer in 15 different locations of up-hill, mid-hill and down-hill part in each kind of plantation from June to August, 2018. The spatial infiltration characteristics of the soil at three plots (with no tree, with acacia tree and with pine tree) was determined by dye tracer method. The factors having an impact to the infiltration process were also analyzed. The main findings include: (1) The soil infiltration rate under both pine and acacia plantation decreased over time and it was the highest in the bottom of the hill and the lowest in the middle of the hill. The infiltration rate and the total infiltrated water in one hour at the acacia plantation were higher than ones at the pine plantation. However, statistical significant difference was only found for stable infiltration rate between two plantations; (2) The area and the depth of infiltrated water were the highest at the plot without trees, smaller at the soil of acacia plot and smallest at the soil of pine plot. All spatial infiltration rates were within the findings of previous studies; (3) The result indicated that soil with high ground cover has high infiltration rate. Để xác định đặc điểm thấm nước của đất dưới rừng trồng Thông và Keo, vòng đôi đo tốc độ thấm đã được sử dụng để đo ở sườn trên, sườn giữa và sườn dưới (5 lần/ ví trí) cho mỗi loại hình rừng từ tháng 6-8/2018. Trong khi, thuốc nhuộm được sử dụng để kiểm tra đặc điểm thấm nước của đất theo không gian trên 3 ô (ô không có cây, ô trồng Keo và ô trồng Thông). Các yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến đặc điểm thấm nước cũng được phân tích. Kết quả chính thu được: (1) Tốc độ thấm ở cả hai loại rừng giảm dần theo thời gian và cao nhất ở sườn dưới,  nhỏ nhất ở sườn giữa. Cả tốc độ thấm và tổng lượng nước thấm trong một giờ của rừng keo đều cao hơn so với rừng Thông. Tuy nhiên, chỉ có tốc độ thấm ổn định là khác biệt có ý nghĩa thống kê; (2) Diện tích và độ sâu nước thấm xuống đất cao nhất ở ô không có cây, nhỏ hơn ở ô trồng Keo và nhỏ nhất ở ô trồng Thông; (3) Độ che phủ thực vật càng cao thì lượng nước thấm càng lớn.

Abstract Ponding time is the period from the beginning of rainfall/infiltration until the occurrence of ponding. This paper aims to determine the infiltration rate and ponding time on different land uses, such as open fields, residential, agriculture, and vegetation. This research was conducted in one of the watersheds in the Brantas River Basin, namely the Lesti River Basin, which is administratively included in the Malang Regency, East Java. The Lesti River is one of the tributaries of the Brantas River, which originates around Mount Semeru, a very intensive area for planting rice, sugar cane, and coffee. Infiltration data were collected at 35 points using a double-ring infiltrometer spread across the Lesti watershed with Andosol, Mediterranean, and Regosol soil types. At the same time, ponding time was obtained from infiltration measurements in the field using the flooding method. The physical properties of the soils were tested in the laboratory to obtain water content, porosity, and bulk density values. This study resulted in the infiltration rate and ponding time for each land use and shows how the physical properties of the soil affect the ponding time.

   ABSTRACTAlun Kapuas Park is a city park that designated by The Park Departement as Green Open Space (RTH) in Pontianak city. In connection with the function of RTH as rainwater catchment, Alun Kapuas Park still got less attention because puddle often happens during the rainy season.  This research aims to determine 1) infiltration rate when the condition is not raining  and the day condition is raining, 2) the influence of soil physical characteristic and vegetation against the infiltration rate, 3) the potential of Alun Kapuas Park to absorb rainwater. Infiltration rate measurement method uses double ring infiltrometer, then it is analyzed by the method of Horton. The result of research indicate that the condition of dry day has average infiltration rate value of 5,62 cm/h greater than the condition of rainy days has average infiltration rate value of 3,20 cm/h. The highest infiltration rate value of  14,40 cm/h is point 4 with sand soil value of 64,64%, permeability value of 26,29 cm/h, and porosity value of 55,42%. Lowest infiltration rate value of 2,02 cm/h is point 3, with  sand soil value of 54,41%, permeability value of 5,14 cm/h, and porosity value of 47,33%. The greater values of permeability, porosity, and the sand fraction can increase the infiltration rate. Vegetation at Point 1, Point 2 and Point 4 is dominated by trees and grass have infiltration rate greater than 3 points dominated the ground cover plants and shrubs.  Potential seepage of rain for one year in Alun Kapuas  Park is 37% of the total volume of rainfall amounted to 54.801 m3, so it does not fulfill the ecological functions of city park as rainwater catchment have percentage of 75-95%. Something that can be suggested is  expanding the area of reforestation, choosing the composition of the vegetation right, replacing asphalt with paving blocks, and social-economic activities are not carried out in the area of reforestation.Key word: city park , infiltration rate, soil physical characteristic, vegetation

The prediction of the soil infiltration rate is advantageous in hydrological design, watershed management, irrigation, and other agricultural studies. Various techniques have been widely used for this with the aim of developing more accurate models; however, the improvement of the prediction accuracy is still an acute problem faced by decision makers in many areas. In this paper, an intelligent model based on a fuzzy logic system (FLS) was developed to obtain a more accurate predictive model for the soil infiltration rate than that generated by conventional methods. The input variables that were considered in the fuzzy model included the silt and clay contents. The developed fuzzy model was tested against both the observed data and multiple linear regression (MLR). The comparison of the developed fuzzy model and MLR model indicated that the fuzzy model can simulate the infiltration process quite well. The coefficient of determination, root mean square error, mean absolute error, model efficiency, and overall index of the fuzzy model were 0.953, 1.53, 1.28, 0.953, and 0.954, respectively. The corresponding MLR model values were 0.913, 2.37, 1.92, 0.913, and 0.914, respectively. The sensitivity results indicated that the clay content is the most influential factor when the FLS-based modelling approach is used for predicting the soil infiltration rate.

At the experimental base of Tianjin Agricultural University, the infiltration process of water was measured by double - ring infiltration instrument at six points. Horton,Philip and Kostiakov-lewis (K-l) infiltration models were fitted with the infiltration data measured and the parameters were correspondingly obtained. Six sets of parameters of the corresponding infiltration model were obtained, and six sets of parameters were used for statistical analysis. The reasonable number of points of the corresponding model was obtained. Then, the statistical analysis of the cumulative infiltration amount was used to obtain the variation of the number of reasonable points in the three models with time. The results show that the imitative effect of accumulative infiltration water and time in K-l model is the best, and the curve of reasonable test points determined by K-l model with time is located under the other two models; The reasonable number of points determined by the parameter K in the K-l model is the least and most reasonable. In view of this, the number of reasonable points was determined by using the parameter K in the K-l model.

Research on the variation of soil infiltration is helpful to analyze the mechanism of soil water movement in farmland. At the same time, soil infiltration characteristics affect the surface irrigation. Based on the field test data, this study simulated and analyzed the soil infiltration with three soil infiltration models (Kostiakov-Lewis model, Philip model and Horton model). The infiltration uncertainty of farmland soil are investigated, and proposed by using two random simulation methods (direct method and parameter mean method) of infiltration. The evaluated indicators are the interval size and its stability of cumulative infiltration amount changed with 95% confidence. The effects of different random simulations methods and three models on the infiltration process are compared and analyzed. Finally, the model and stochastic simulation method suitable for the infiltration characteristics of the farmland are determined. The results show that the correlation coefficients of the three models are all above 0.98, and there is no significant difference in fitting accuracy. In terms of the degree of spatial uncertainty (determined by standard deviation): direct method > parameter mean method, in which the combination of the Kostiakov-Lewis model and the parameter mean method have less uncertainty, and the combined simulation effect is better, it is more suitable for the simulation of soil infiltration at farmland scale.

This article takes four different slope lands as the experimental points in Jinsha River dry-hot volley. The double-rings method is adopted to illustrate the soil moisture infiltration characteristics in four different landuse types. The results show that different landues types have obvious differences in soil infiltration capability among four different patterns of landuse. Arbor forest behaved the best infiltration capability and wasteland the worst; the average infiltration and the steadily infiltration attains 1.67mm/min and 0.5mm/min respectively during the first 120min of soil water infiltration process in arbor forest; the rate of whatever the average infiltration or the steadily infiltration express the same regulation: the arbor forest is a little higher than the shrub land, the grassland, than the waste land; the moisture infiltration rate in different landuse types can all be thoroughly defined through the Horton equation; Water infiltration is affected by the soil bulk density. With the bulk density increasing, the steady infiltration rate decreases. And the two are at an exponential function.

One of the important functions of the forest is as a provider of water through infiltration processes in the hydrological cycle. Green open space at Lampung University has a variety of tree stands, including Sengon Buto, Teak stands and mixed stands. The stand has the potential to increase infiltration and reduce run-off. The study aims to determine the rate of infiltration that occurs under a variety of stands by using Double Ring infiltrometer, and conducted during February - March 2015.The results showed a mix of stands have the highest infiltration rate of 56.60 cm/hour when compared with Sengon Buto, stands of teak, and free standing, each of which has a value of 51.60 cm/hour, 45.60 cm/hour, and 4.80 cm/hour. Based on the classification according Kohnke (1968), the infiltration rate contained under each of these stands belong to the classification very quickly, while on land classified as being free standing. Factors that affect the rate of infiltration directly that the initial soil water content, bulk density, soil porosity, and clay fractions. Tree density, density and canopy strata, as well as ground cover plants indirectly affects infiltration is to establish the physical properties of soil that can support increased infiltration.

The processing of adequate information of characteristics of soils is essential for designing quality soil management and construction practices on agricultural and urban lands. Little is known about the infiltration capacity of soils in institutions of higher learning, this study therefore evaluated the infiltration capacity of soils in the Landmark University, Omu-Aran. The double ring infiltrometer with an inner ring of 30 cm and a 50 cm diameter outer ring with a height of 30 cm above the ground was used to test infiltration rates at two sites, namely the University of Omu-Aran’s orchard area (OA) and the new college building area (NCBA). Six points labelled (A, B, C, D, E and F) were identified at 10 m grid intervals at which infiltration rates were determined using a 30 cm inner ring double ring infiltrometer and a 30 cm height outer ring. Results of soil analysis suggests sand dirty and silt texture and bulk density and particle density varied from 2.54–3.03 g/cm3 and 1.31–1.52 g/cm3 respectively. The infiltration rates ranged between 0.007 to 0.011 cm/sec with a mean of 0.009cm/sec in orchard area (OA) and 0.011 to 0.035 cm/sec with a mean value of 0.021 cm/sec in NCBA indicating a significant difference at both locations. The infiltration rate of soils at the OA is very low compare to that of NCBA therefore the OA is more prone to flooding. Effective drainage control system is recommended along the orchard area to prevent flooding.
