The drainage lysimeter, used for monitoring infiltration and evapotranspiration, was installed ... in September, 1995. The installation was quite simple. We dug out a hole 1.5 meters square, 1.5 meters deep, to accept the lysimeter box (a steel box 1.5 meters deep, and 1.2 meters by 1.2 meters wide, with a slanted bottom; ... We then placed the lysimeter box in its hole and leveled it. We placed two observation wells in the lysimeter -- one in the deep corner and one in the shallow corner, and replaced the soil layers in the same order in which they were removed ... Eventually, the material in the lysimeter will obtain its original properties and give a good representation of the surrounding soil type. 2, record 4, English, - drainage%20lysimeter
