    The passage describes methods to measure soil permeability through constant head and falling head permeability tests.

    The two methods used to measure soil permeability are the constant head permeability test and the falling head permeability test.

    In the constant head permeability test, the variables measured are the diameter and length of the soil specimen, the head difference in the manometers, test duration, quantity of water discharged, temperature, rate of flow, and cross-sectional area.
