Based on the Darcy's equation, the conductivity coefficient is assumed solely depend on the water content or suction. The purpose of this paper is to prove that hysteresis effect in soil water movement is another important factor to cause error in traditional assumption. A new apparatus was designed to prove this condition existed. Conductivity decreased about 66%, 79%, 48% and 26% by hysteresis effect under -10, -30, -50 and -70cm pressure.
