A Study was attempted to assess the infiltration Characteristics of the Major Soils of Sohag Governorate, Egypt. Twelve soil profiles were exposed andmorphologically examined to represent the soils of the study area. Horizon wise soil samples were taken and analysis for physical and chemical properties. The Field measurements of infiltration were made for five hours using a double ring infiltrometer and the empirical kostiakov’s infiltration model was applied. The results indicated that the soils were classified as Aridisols (TypicHaplocalcids), Entisols (TypicTorriorthents,TypicTorripsamment, TypicTorrifluvents and VerticTorrifluvent) and verisols(TypicHaplotorrerts). The obtained findings indicated that the infiltration rates (IR) ranged between 0.80 and 6.67 m/day. The highest values (6.47 and 6.67 m/day) were observed in the locations No. 11 and 12 where the coarse texture prevailing. Whereas, the fine texture soils recorded the lowest values (0.80, 0.81 and 0.82 m/day) in the locations No. 8, 4 and 7 respectively. Infiltration rate classified as very rapid, rapid, moderately rapid and moderate. There were appreciable relationships between steady infiltration rates and sand, hydraulic conductivity, CaCO3 content and organic carbon (OC) in the order r=0.95, 0.93, 0.74 and 0.79 respectively. Silt, clay, organic carbon (OC), permanent wilting point (PWP), field capacity (FC), exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and cation exchangeable capacity (CEC) however, were found to be negatively correlated with the infiltration rates (r= -0.80 , -0.91, -0.95, -0.97, -0.64, -0.91, respectively .Whereas, bulk Density (BD) showed an insignificant relationships (p=0.05) with infiltration rates in the order of r=0.13. Different maps of soil parameters have been generated under GIS environment and finally the infiltration map has been produced for the study area.
