  3. Percolation test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_test

    A percolation test (colloquially called a perc test) is a test to determine the water absorption rate of soil (that is, its capacity for percolation) in preparation for the building of a septic drain field (leach field) or infiltration basin. [1] The results of a percolation test are required to design a septic system properly.

  4. Water flow test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_flow_test

    A process to perform a water flow test is explained in the model fire codes as published by NFPA (National Fire Protection Association). If a water supply source is considered weak compared to what is required by the sprinkler system design hydraulic calculation , the water pressure can be boosted by means of a fire pump .

  5. Aquifer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_test

    where s is the drawdown (change in hydraulic head at a point since the beginning of the test in units of distance), u is a dimensionless parameter, Q is the discharge (pumping) rate of the well (volume per unit time), T and S are the transmissivity and storativity of the aquifer around the well (distance squared per unit time and dimensionless ...

    the discharge rate (Q) from the recharge rate (R) in a water balance as detailed in the article: hydrology (agriculture) the permissible long term average depth of the water table (Dw) on the basis of agricultural drainage criteria; the soil's hydraulic conductivity (Ka and Kb) by measurements; the depth of the bottom of the aquifer (Di)

  7. Atterberg limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atterberg_limits

    The Atterberg limits are a basic measure of the critical water contents of a fine-grained soil: its shrinkage limit, plastic limit, and liquid limit. Depending on its water content, soil may appear in one of four states: solid, semi-solid, plastic and liquid. In each state, the consistency and behavior of soil are different, and consequently so ...

  8. Infiltration (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiltration_(hydrology)

    The maximum rate at that water can enter soil in a given condition is the infiltration capacity. If the arrival of the water at the soil surface is less than the infiltration capacity, it is sometimes analyzed using hydrology transport models, mathematical models that consider infiltration, runoff, and channel flow to predict river flow rates ...

  9. Hydraulic conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_conductivity

    This procedure allows water to move through the soil under a steady state head condition while the volume of water flowing through the soil specimen is measured over a period of time. By knowing the volume Δ V of water measured in a time Δ t , over a specimen of length L and cross-sectional area A , as well as the head h , the hydraulic ...
