How Is Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Measured?

How Is Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Measured? A ring infiltrometer is a thin-walled open-ended cylinder inserted into the soil to a specific depth (typically around 5 cm) to measure field saturated hydraulic conductivity. Water infiltrates through the ring(s) using either the constant or falling head techniques. How do you calculate saturated hydraulic conductivity? It is the
