Abstract: A horizontal permeability device having an inflow tank and an outflow tank, the inflow tank being taller than the outflow tank. Between the inflow tank and outflow tank is a horizontally defined sample cylinder that is connected to openings in each of the inflow and outflow tanks. The outflow tank comprising an outflow valve positioned above the sample cylinder, thereby allowing water to drain from the inflow tank to the outflow tank, while passing through the sample cylinder.
