   A percolation test (colloquially called a perc test) is a test to determine the water absorption rate of soil (that is, its capacity for percolation) in preparation for the building of a septic drain field (leach field) or infiltration basin. [1] The results of a percolation test are required to design a septic system properly.

   Infiltration testing is to use a weir as a device for flow measurement. The measurement showed the amount of infiltration and inflow in the system. Exfiltration testing uses water to fill up a manhole and measurements are taken to detect leaks. In a modern time, vacuum testing is performed to check integrity of manholes and identify for leaks.
