Abstract
The in situ measurement of sorptivity with infiltrometers using the falling head method is fundamental in soil physics. We reexamine the theory underlying the method and find that small but significant corrections have to be made to previous results. The new theory is used to analyze experimental observations of infiltration into a sandy soil. The results are accurate enough to demonstrate the dependence of sorptivity and conductivity on density variations of about 5%.
