Field hydraulic conducfivity of some malaysian peat

Field measurements on the hydraulic conductivity (K) of several developed and undeveloped peat soils using auger hole method were conducted. Developed deep peat has hydraulic conductivity values in the range of 6.32x1O·' to 4.44 x 10"' (0.55 to 3.84 mid). The studies also indicated th...
