To suggest the fundamental data for development of the soil improvement method which increases the permeability in aquifer by jet water, laboratory tests were performed. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The diameter of the improved section was maximum value when the time of water jetting was about 4 minutes, and it was not increased according as the time of water jetting was longer than 4 minutes. 2. It appeared that 2.78 mm in diameter of the nozzle was the most optimum size in the condition of using the 1/8 HP - pump and the diameter of improved section in that case was 15.9cm 3. According to removing fine - soil particles, the original soil was improved, suitable to the purpose of improving, and then the permeability of the improved soil was 100 times of that of the original soil. 4. As the improved soil was satisfied to the design criteria of filter materials, the improvement method in this study will be useful for constructing underground collecting channels or underground collecting drainage canals.
