Question

What is the advantage of double ring infiltrometer over the single ring infiltrometer for the infiltration process?

Answer 1

Answer:

The double ring infiltrometer is a simple instrument which is used to determine the infiltration rate of water into the soil. The infiltration rate is determinated as the amount of water per surface area and time unit, which penetrates the soils. ... As vertically infiltrated water runs away to the side.

Answer 2

ANSWER: Topsoil's saturated hydraulic conductivity can be measured more affordably with double ring infiltrometers.

EXPLANATION:

• The process of water entering the soil via the earth's surface is known as infiltration.
• Infiltration is commonly determined by single ring and double ring infiltrometers.
• The double ring infiltrometer's typical kit includes a hammer, three floats, a stainless steel hammering cross, two removal hooks, and a stopwath in addition to three stainless steel rings with varied diameters.
• Double ring infiltrometers are more accurate than single ring infiltrometers because they reduce the error caused by lateral water flow which makes them more reliable.
• Single ring technique is extremely sensitive to worm and cracks in the soil. The flow is accelerated by any crack in the soil.

Therefore, double ring infiltrometers are more efficient than single ring infiltrometers.
