Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the seepage through a soil matrix when Q1 = 0.2 L/s, Q2 = 0.1 L/s, and Q3 = 0.15 L/s. Assume a constant K of 0.1 L/s.
💡 Hint: Focus on inflow and outflow relations.
If the storage in a soil matrix increases from 5 L to 10 L in 1 hour, what is the infiltration rate if Q1 = 0.1 L/s and Q2 = 0.2 L/s.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert storage changes to a per-second basis.
