Infiltration test data from the Upper Athi River basin, Eastern Kenya

Description

This data contains infiltration capacities(in cm/min), Time (min), and land use-land cover types in the Upper Athi river basin in Eastern Kenya. The infiltration tests were carried out using standard infiltrometers and the data sampled over many plots in the whole basin.
