| Abstract | Studies on seepage and percolation in field conditions have been started recently in Asia. Since water is the most limiting factor for winter crop cultivation in Bangladesh, such studies on estimating seepage and percolation (S&P) rates for lowland rice cultivation were selected. In field experiments, four selected field locations were considered and S&P rates for the sites were estimated by inclined meters (water subsidence technique). Mean estimated S&P rates for the sites BRRI1, BRR2 , Laskar Chala, and Salna were 1.3, 1.5, 2.0 and 1.4 mm/day, respectively. Soil type in the sites was clay-loam and weighted mean S&P rate was 1.6 mm/day. |
