3.2.4 WATER SUPPLY TANK
The water supply tank holds up to 5 gal and is sufficient for lower permeability sites
(Figure28). Some sites with higher infiltration rates will use more than 5 gal of water in the
time necessary to complete a measurement. The Y-connector may be used to connect two
water tanks to SATURO, doubling the water supply available for a measurement.
