Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A farmer has a field with partially saturated soil. How will changes in rainfall impact the soil's saturation and agricultural yield?

💡 Hint: Consider the balance that plants require of water and air in the soil.

Question 2

In construction, why is it important for an engineer to evaluate soil phase relations at a building site, and how might they test for soil saturation?

💡 Hint: What tests determine whether soil is dry, saturated, or somewhere in between?
