An important aspect of soil holding capacity and ground water percolation is infiltration as well as the most significant factor in our region’s drought area is rainfall. To improve surface and groundwater storage these, the primary objectives were to assess the effect of infiltration versus duration and provide supporting proof for soil water redistribution analysis. The impact on infiltration on the finer layer was less, but coarser layer was affected more due to the high difference of saturated permeability between the two layers. It is likely to be rainfall intensity analysis where relatively shorter rainfall duration resulted in lagged responses of pore pressure and water content. Very low change in saturated soil permeability caused very low change in permeability. In one experimental site the effect of different land use and farming management systems on water infiltration rates of soils were studied. As with most of the study, this one also showed that land use systems have a strong impact on the infiltration rate.
