    The document contains calculations to determine the permeability of soil using two methods: 1) Constant head method: A flow rate of 21.82 ml/s was measured with a head difference of 24.4 cm, yielding a permeability of 0.0167 s-1. 2) Falling head method: The time for a water column height to fall from 60 cm to 144 cm was measured as 86 s, yielding a permeability of 0.016 s-1.
