Abstract
Field infiltrometer techniques are becoming very popular for soil hydraulic characterization because the experiments are relatively easy, rapid and inexpensive. Loam soils generally exhibit a good balance between large and small pores, thus movement and retention of water is almost optimal. Hydraulic characterization of loam soils is important since they have high economic interest.
