Detection of Saturated Interflow in Soils with Piezometers¹

ABSTRACT

Piezometers were used as saturated interflow detection devices in a study of partial watershed contribution to storm runoff. Saturated interflow was detected along the AB-horizon interface in clay loam soils with shallow A horizons. The results of the study showed that at least under some soil conditions piezometers can be useful in determining the extent of saturated flow within a watershed. The occurrence of this flow will normally be confined to the shallow A-horizon regions.
