Percolation test results are not readily translated into field saturated hydraulic conductivity (''K<sub>fs</sub>''). However, an acceptable approximation can be made by accounting for the soil texture and by making measurements under non-saturated conditions<ref name = 'Reynolds'>Reynolds, W.D., Galloway, K., and Radcliffe, D.E.
