Study of Infiltration Rate, Soil Moisture Content and Land use Prediction in Khlong Lan Watershed, Kamphaeng Phet Province
Abstract
The objective of this research was to study the infiltration rate and soil moisture content in Khlong Lan Watershed (KLW), Kamphaeng Phet Province, in during November 2017 – April 2018 and land use prediction in the year 2021. The results showed that the evergreen forest in November 2017 has a maximum infiltration rate was 80 millimeter per minute and the urban and built-up land in March 2018 has a minimum infiltration rate was 4.00 millimeter per minute. The land use of field crop (Cassava) in April 2018 has a maximum soil moisture content was 22.95 percentage and the orchard (Tamarind and Rambutan) in March 2018 has a minimum soil moisture content was 1.31 percentage. The land use prediction within the KLW that is expected to occur in the year 2021 indicated that the deciduous forest has a highest land use change was 0.28 square kilometer and the water body has a lowest land use change was 0.01 square kilometer.
