Abstract
Salt is commodity for consumption need and a raw material for the chemical industry. In the preparation of salt land, the land used must be able to hold sea water to not seep quickly into the soil, so permeability greatly affects the infiltration of a soil at the salt land.
To find out seepage that will occur in salt lands, a double ring infiltrate meter test is used to determine the infiltration rate and sample taking to determine basic soil characteristics such as water content, specific gravity, filter analysis, compacting.
The results of this study shown that the soil characteristic can be concluded that for salt ponds in Nagekeo Flores, Indonesia, an area of practically impermeable soil type with a permeability value of k < 10−7 cm/s which can be achieved on clay soil types (clay).
