Important Geotechnical Aspects of Infiltration

The presentation will discuss important geotechnical aspects of infiltration field testing and BMP design.  Specifically, the presentation will discuss the current City and County of San Diego geotechnical design and reporting requirements, NRCS soil types, types of infiltration field testing (test procedures, applications, advantages, disadvantages) and geotechnical constraints, among other aspects.  We will also discuss a few local examples that highlight important aspects of infiltration.
