The invention belongs to the field of geological monitoring, and discloses a
loess macropore constant water head preferential seepage
tail end channel observation device and method, and the device comprises a camera, a funnel,
polystyrene foam, a first
burette, a second
burette, a constant water head three-way
pipe, a drainage
bottle, a first iron stand and a second iron stand; one end of the camera is fixed on the first iron stand; a permeable stone is arranged in the middle of a large opening of the funnel, the surface of the permeable stone is used for fixing an undisturbed
loess sample and a supporting tube, and
polystyrene foam is filled between the supporting tube and the
loess sample; the first end and the third end of the constant water head three-way
pipe are respectively connected with the water discharging
bottle and the first
burette; and the first burette and the second burette are connected through the second three-way
pipe and the third three-way pipe. A soil sample is not disturbed, the height of a water head is fixed, a
macropore preferential seepage
tail end channel can be quickly observed, the specific yield can be quickly measured, the working efficiency is high, and the device is flexible and detachable. The problems that at present, preferential seepage
macropore channels in loess are difficult to capture, and the specific yield of undisturbed loess is difficult to measure are effectively solved.
