APPENDIX A - INFILTRATION TESTING

← Back to document page

While the percolation rate is related to the infiltration rate, percolation rates tend to overestimate infiltration rates and can be off by a factor of ten or more. as is discussed However, in Section 2.3, the percolation rate can be converted to a reasonable estimate of theinfiltration rate using the Porchet Method.
