Flow Resistivity Instrument

A method and apparatus for making in-situ measurements of flow resistivity on the Earth's ground surface is summarized. The novel feature of the invention is two concentric cylinders, inserted into the ground surface with a measured pressure applied to the surface inside the inner cylinder. The outer cylinder vents a plane beneath the surface to the atmosphere through an air space. The flow to the inner cylinder is measured thereby indicating the flow from the surface to the plane beneath the surface.
