A method is described for measuring instantaneous changes in soil‐water pressure in soil beds during intermittent application of simulated rainfall. Differences in soil‐water pressure do occur in soil beds, depending on nozzle off time. Intermittent off periods between nozzle on times affected soil‐water pressure which influenced the accumulated rainfall energy required to initiate runoff.
