I have self made equipment for measuring infiltration rat of the land/ soil. But it has some limitations, in case, at the time of over-flooding. In addition, it is difficult to use it when the surface of the land is light-to-hard one.

Depends on the way you add the water to soil surface (e.g. bonding, sprinkler, or rain), the condition of the soil surface, and the purpose of measuring the infiltration rate. There are many methods used to measure Infiltration rate or cumulative infiltration. The interesting method is using IPARM model to analysis furrow irrigation experiment to predict the parameters of modified Kostiakov equation. Have a look at:
