Few studies have considered the effect of organic amendments on soil microbial activity and its contributions to hydraulic conductivity under field conditions in semiarid region soils with different textures and degrees of aggregate stability. This study was performed to investigate the relationship between selected soil properties and hydraulic conductivity in response to different types and application rates of organic amendments. For this purpose, urban municipal solid waste (MSW) compost and alfalfa residue (AR) were applied at different rates of 0 (control), 102 emissions from the soils treated with MSW. Higher microbial respiration and mineralization quotient (qmC) in the MSW-treated soils resulted in higher levels of water stable aggregates (WSA
