KAJIAN LAJU INFILTRASI TANAH PADA BERBAGAI PENGGUNAAN LAHAN DI DESA TONGKOH KECAMATAN DOLAT RAYAT KABUPATEN KARO
ABSTRACT: The aim
of this research
was to know
the infiltration rate
in some land
uses at Desa
Tongkoh Kecamatan Dolat Rayat
Kabupaten Karo using Philips equation model. The land uses i.etomato field,
avocado field, and pine forest were
observed. Parametersobserved were
moisture content, soil
texture, organic matter,
bulk density, particle density,
porosity, cumulative infiltration.
Double ring infiltrometer
that pressed into
the soil were used in this
research. The decreased of water level was observed with interval of 0, 5, 10,
20, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240 minutes. The results for every land uses showed
that the highest infiltration was found in tomato field, and pine forest, the
lowest was found in avocado field. Factorsaffected the infiltration rate were soil
texture, porosity and organic matter.
Key word: Infiltration Rate,
