A field method is described for measuring hydraulic head changes with time during infiltration of water into the soil. Using graphical methods, the hydraulic head and hydraulic gradient relationships for depth with time were established. From the sets of curves developed, soil depths were determined where soil physical properties influenced water flow during infiltration.
