It’s ho ever important to note that takin measurements of infiltration rate for s<strong>and</strong>y soil ith these suction<br />

The above three factors influenced the infiltration measurement of location 008. To give evidence to the<br />
suction rate more measurements should be taken. Precipitation data is needed to describe the possible highest<br />
infiltration <strong>and</strong> more data collected from other study sites to verify ones measurements.<br />
The influence of pastoralism <strong>and</strong> farming on the observed soil properties should be clarified. So it seems to<br />
be necessary to get more detailed information about the relationship between l<strong>and</strong> use types <strong>and</strong> soil<br />
properties. The field survey is still in progress thus the additional data of the forthcoming days will give a<br />
more detailed picture of the situation in the surroundings of the Voi community.<br />
