Abstract:
      Tests were conducted by using different size of infiltrometer and negative hydraulic head to study the water conductivity in different land use types (woodland, farmland and blosomland). The results showed that , steady infiltration model and regression method are suitable for woodland which has more organic mater and bulk density and farmland which is greatly influenced by human activities, while transient infiltration model are more convenient and can get better results for the blossomland which is homogeneous. So different methods should be used for various land use types.
