N2  - Biopore infiltration hole (BIH) is a technology which can improve the soil quality and structure and
increase the infiltration rate of the soil. The raised discussion about this infrastructure is the effectiveness of this 
BIH if it applied in the different soil type especially in loam soil that known having a small hydraulic 
conductivity. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine in which kind of soil this BIH will perform its 
function more effectively.This study was carried out in three BIH with 10 cm of diameter and a depth about 60 
cm at three different kind of soils (clay loam, silty loam, and loam soil). The dimension of LRB that applied was 
adapted from the BIH that was commonly applicate in Bandung area, and the effectivity of each BIH was 
examined by determined the amount of water that can be infiltrated to each BIH at the time of test.The result of 
this study portray that at the beginning of the test was relatively high and decrease following exponential curve 
to constant point. The amount of water that could be infiltrated into a week old BIH are 16.26 liter for BIH in 
clay loam soil, 9.965 liter for BIH in silty loam soil, and 24.087 liter for BIH in loam soil. The amount of water 
that can be infiltrated in each BIH increase along the time goes, except for BIH in loam soil that fall on some 
capacity deterioration after the fourth week.At the fourth week, the amount of water that could be infiltrated into 
BIH A increased 84 % to 29.953 l. for BIH B the volume increased reach 569% to 66,57 l while the capacity of 
BIH C which meet the deterioration is 39.874 l or still increased 65% from the first week. From this data, we 
can simplify that in this study, the most effective application of BIH is in silty loam soil. From this fact, we can 
conclude that the effectiveness of BIH that represented by the amount of water that infiltrated is vary according 
to the soil structure, that?s way we have to give another consideration to BIH application especially in its 
application at the loamy soil.
