The Demonstration Infiltration Apparatus provides a simple but effective laboratory demonstration of the infiltration processes, which are fundamental to any form of irrigation.
The unit comprises three transparent cylinders in which soil samples are placed. Water poured onto the soil surface can then be observed as it infiltrates the sample.
Each cylinder features a graduated scale so that observations may be quantified. Each cylinder incorporates an air breather and a perforated base plate to facilitate drainage without undue soil loss.
REQUIREMENTS
