Calculating water storage capacity can estimate how much rainwater infiltrates the ground. The soil infiltration and permeability test can estimate water storage capacity. This study is to evaluate how much water infiltrates into the soil. Research in Rawadanau, Serang Regency, has been conducted on relatively undisturbed land and mixed agriculture at the soil quaternary volcanic. The infiltration capacity (f) was measured using the double-ring infiltrometer, and the permeability (k) was measured in the laboratory using a permeameter. The test results of both methods and calculations using Horton’s equations showed that f varied from 6.6−4 to 1.89−2 cm/sec. In contrast, the k was between 3.74−7 to 6.05−3 cm/sec. The highest value of the f was found in land with sandy lithology on mixed forests, the highest of k at forests, and mixed agriculture volcanic soil.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
