A.3.3 Flow of Water Through Layered Soils Soil layers of varying hydraulic conductivities interfere with water movement. Abrupt changes in conductivity can cause the soil to saturate or nearly saturate above the boundary regardless of the hydraulic conductivity of the underlying, layer. If the upper layer has a signifi- cantly greater hydraulic conductivity, the water ponds because the lower layer cannot transmit the water as fast as the upper layer delivers it. If the upper layer has a lower conductivity, the underlying layer cannot absorb it because the finer pores in the upper layer hold the water until the matric potential is reduced to near saturation. Layers such as these may occur naturally in soils or as the result of continuous wastewater application. It is common to develop a clogging mat of lower hydraulic conductivity at the infiltrative surface of a soil disposal system. This layer forms as a result of suspended solids accumulation, biological activity, compaction by construction machinery, and soil slaking (3). The clogging mat may restrict water movement to the point where water is ponded above, and the soil below is unsaturated. Water passes through the clogging mat due to the hydrostatic pressure of the ponded water above pushing the water through, and the soil suction of the unsaturated soil below pulling it through. Figure A-7 illustrates three columns of similar textured soils with clogging mats in various stages of development. Water is ponded at equal heights above the infiltrative surface of each column. Column A has no clogging mat so the water is able to pass through all the pores, saturating the soil. The moisture tension in this column is zero. Column B has a permeable clogging mat developed with moderate size pores. Flow into the underlying soil is restricted by the clogging mat to a rate less than the soil is able to transmit it. Therefore, the large pores in the soil empty. With increasing intensity of the mat, as shown in Column C, the flow rate through the soil is reduced to very low levels. The water is forced to flow through the finest pores of the soil, which is a very tortuous path. Flow rates through identical clogging mats developed on different soils will vary with the soil's capillary characteristics. A.4 Evaluating Soil Properties To adequately predict how soil responds to wastewater application, the soil properties described and other site characteristics must be identified. The procedures used to evaluate soils are described in Chapter 3 of this manual. 380
