timed (with a stopwatch) how much the water in the infiltrometer would decrease in a minute which measured by a ruler (in mm). This process was repeated on both managed and unmanaged sections of the beach. We conducted an investigation on both the unmanaged and managed section of the beach. The infiltration rate test on unmanaged section shows slow infiltration because there is no sediment because the clay is impermeable. The infiltration rate depends on the amount of sediment (the more sediment the
