Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An area of sandy soil has a sorptivity of 0.3 cm/min, and a steady infiltration rate of 1.5 cm/min. Calculate the infiltration capacity after 10 minutes.

💡 Hint: Remember, you'll want to break it down by plugging in each value as per the equation's components.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of low sorptivity and steady infiltration rate for flood management in a developed urban area.

💡 Hint: Consider all consequences of poor absorption rates in managing stormwater.
