Abstract

This study investigated the influence of the environmental characteristics and soil properties on the soil infiltration rate in urban permeable area. The experiments were conducted at nine sampling points located in the urban perimeter of Campo Grande, capital city of Mato Grosso do Sul State, in the Brazilian Midwest. The infiltration rates were determined using a portable integrated rainfall and overland flow simulator. Each experiment was repeated three times, and a total of twenty-seven plots were collected. At the same time, environmental characteristics and soil physical properties, that may affect infiltration rate, were also evaluated. The relationship between the infiltration rate, the environmental plot characteristics and the soil physical properties was verified using a linear correlation matrix.
