Spatial variability of infiltration rates was examined for a site in southern Idaho. Data used represented 13 sampling dates over a 5‐year period. Samples initially were taken within a native big sagebrush community, again after plowing and seeding to crested and intermediate wheatgrass, and then while the seeded area was being grazed by domestic livestock. Results indicate that either a normal or log normal distribution may be adequate for describing measured infiltration rates.
