    Generally, for measurement of infiltration on the field we use the Cylindrical Infiltrometer of diameter 30 cm and 60 cm. Basic infiltration rate for a different type of soil are as below:

    1. If the infiltration rate is 1-5 mm/hour that it is Clay.
    2. If the infiltration rate is 5-10 mm/hour that it is Clay Loam.
    3. If the infiltration rate is 10-20 mm/hour that it is Loam.
    4. If the infiltration rate is 20-30 mm/hour that it is Sandy Loam.
    5. If the infiltration rate is greater than 30 mm/hour that it is Sand.
