INFLOW-OUTFLOW INFILTRATION MEASUREMENT ACCURACY
By Thomas J. TroutO Member, ASCE, and Bruce E. Mackey 2 Ammar: •Furrow infiltration and Channel seepage are often measured With inflow-outflow measurements. Inaccuracy in the flow measurement •
will cause a larger uncertainty in the calculated infiltration. The infiltra-tion rate determinainfiltra-tion uncertainty increases rapidly as the percent of the inflow that is infiltrated decreases. The effect of meaSurernent uncertainty on infiltration measurements can be estimated so that the' confidence interval of a mean or the actual infiltration variability level can be determined.
INTRODUCTION
Soil infiltration rate is a critical parameter in the design and evaluation of irrigation systems.-A common method of measuring infiltration rate under graded surface irrigation is the inflow-outflow method, in which infiltration rate is calculated as the difference between measured water inflow and outflow rate from a furrow or border section. The technique is also used to determine water loss from conveyance channels. Inaccuracy inherent in flow measurement will cause uncertainty in the measured infiltration rate. This paper analyzes the sensitivity of measured infiltration to flow Mea-surement uncertainty and indicates' achievable infiltration meaMea-surement accuracy and procedures to maximike -accuracy. The analysis 'Provides engineers and soil scientists with the tools required to prdVide a statistical basis for the uncertainty in infiltration measurements.
FLOW 'MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY
Scatter in a set of data, such as the random deviations of measured values around the true value, is described by the variance V or its,,squate root, the standard deviation s. The uncertainty of a measurement refers to the interval within which the true value lies with a certain confidence or
probability P. Uncertainty lithits E rare careidated froth :the Student's t-statistic, based on the desired probability level and the degrees-of-freedom involved in determining .5. and on n, the number of measurements
