Abstract
A laboratory experiment was conducted to measure the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of two surface soil samples, saline sodic (S1) and saline soil (S2) collected from Taworgha Agricultural project, located about 300 km east of Tripoli /Libya before and after leaching processes by the intermittent and continuous leaching technique using the constant head method as described by Klute and Dirksen (1986). hydraulic conductivity depends on the soil pore space, proportion of air in the soil and the soil salt content. The Ksat under intermittent pouring (M1) was lower than the continuous pouring (M2) and the reverse was true for (PV) at 6 - PV soils had less Kisat as compared to 3 - PV, Table (1).
