Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A farmer notices that water is pooling in a field with clay soil, while gravel fields nearby drain quickly. Using the concepts of permeability, explain why this occurs.

💡 Hint: Consider the size and structure of soil particles.

Question 2

Given a scenario where a dam is critical for storage, how can understanding permeability help maintain its structural integrity?

💡 Hint: Think about the movement of water and its effects on materials.
