Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If you have 100 mm of rainfall on a field with clayey soil, and the depression storage capacity is 10 mm, how much water will enter the soil?

💡 Hint: Start by calculating what is retained and then what runs off.

Question 2

Analyze two different sites—with similar rainfall where one site has compacted soil and the other has a loosened surface. What differences in water retention patterns would you expect?

💡 Hint: Consider how each type of soil handles water during and after rainfall.
