Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assume a soil has varying hydraulic properties across a landscape. Develop an infiltration strategy using the Green-Ampt model while accounting for different textures.

💡 Hint: Consider how to categorize different soil types and their respective infiltration rates.

Question 2

A field experiment reveals that an area initially absorbs water at a rate of 15 cm/hr but decreases to 5 cm/hr. Using the Green-Ampt model, analyze how the initial suction head changes over time considering moisture content.

💡 Hint: Pay attention to how moisture levels affect suction head in the model.
