ABSTRACT
The piezometer method is a well-established field technique for measuring the in situ saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks [LT
1], of porous materials within the saturated zone (i.e., below the water table). An alternative in situ method for Ks measurement in the saturated zone is given in Chapter 78 (Auger Hole), while several laboratory and estimation
techniques for Ks determination are given in Chapter 75 and Chapter 84, respectively. A discussion of the principles and parameters associated with the determination of Ks appears in Chapter 69.
