Sustainable Solutions: Infiltration Data Collection in a Multi-Use Park for Advanced Computational Stormwater Modelling
The infiltration rate is a fundamental parameter in hydrology and soil science. It measures the velocity at which water infiltrates the soil surface and moves through its network of pores. Estimation of this parameter is crucial for example in designing efficient stormwater management systems.
ISMO’s Joseph Perry describes in his article the results of Turku UAS’ Water and Environmental Engineering research group using a mini disc infiltrometer to measure infiltration rates at 11 sites in Kupittaa Park during 2023.
