[It is] expressed in quantity of water absorbed by the soil per unit of time, e.g. mm/hour. [It] can be readily measured using a can with the bottom cut out, pressed into the soil surface, a litre of water added, and the rate of water entry timed.  4, record 1, English, - infiltration%20rate

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS

Infiltration decreases as the rain continues, because some of the soil particles swell and block the pores; also, some of the pores fill with capillary water. Infiltration tends to increase with porosity.  6, record 1, English, - infiltration%20rate

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF

The actual rate at which water is entering the soil at a given time. It may be less than the maximum (the infiltration rate), because of a limited supply of water (rainfall or irrigation).  3, record 2, English, - infiltration%20velocity

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

... it is the property of the soil to let itself be passed through by water; it is measured on the velocity of infiltration of the gravitational water. The higher this velocity is and the bigger the volume of the empty spaces is; the velocity is high in sandy, gravelly soils and with stable aggregates having many macropores. The infiltration velocity is expressed in mm/hour ...  2, record 2, English, - infiltration%20velocity

Vitesse à laquelle l'eau pénètre dans le sol en fonction de la profondeur par unité de temps.  2, record 2, French, - vitesse%20d%27infiltration

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

La quantité d'eau infiltrée par unité de surface a la dimension d'une longueur, c'est la hauteur d'eau équivalente qui a pénétré dans le sol; elle est souvent exprimée en millimètres, tandis que la vitesse d'infiltration est exprimée en millimètres par seconde ou par heure. [...] la vitesse d'infiltration résulte de deux effets : - l'effet de succion [...] - l'effet de la pesanteur [...]  3, record 2, French, - vitesse%20d%27infiltration
