Abstract
Interest in waste water reclamation by surface spreading has dictated a need for study of the mechanism of infiltration, the phenomena that determine the rates of water percolation, and the interaction of porous media and degraded waters. Soil lysimeters are shown to be well suited for the investigation of many important aspects of the reclamation problem and to offer a convenient, economical means of predicting full-scale field spreading performance. The behavior of five typical pervious agricultural soils under water and sewage spreading conditions are evaluated, and a comparison is made between field and lysimeter performance for two of these soils.
