Hi, we are the master students from Vietnam and Belgium working together on the infiltration of different soil types in Vietnam. We read about the paper: "Analysis of single-ring infiltrometer data for soil hydraulic properties estimation: Comparison of BEST and Wu methods" by Xianli Xu (2014) and we are also performing similar experiments. It would be out of this world if you can spend a little time helping us figure out the next steps in our project :-) I got several questions for our research: 1. Is this any big difference if we pour the water from different heights into the rings? 2. What happens if we reduce the amount of water pouring in the rings? 3. Can you suggest us a simpler formula or the simplified version of Wu or BEST formula to calculate the saturated soil hydraulic conductivity?
Thanks a bunch for any replies!
