Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a soil with an initial infiltration rate of 100 mm/hr, a steady-state rate of 20 mm/hr, and k=0.1. Calculate the infiltration rate after 5 hours using Horton's Equation.

💡 Hint: Start with finding the exponential part to simplify your calculations.

Question 2

Discuss how changes in rainfall intensity could impact the parameters of Horton's Equation during a storm event.

💡 Hint: Consider the concept of saturation and how quickly soil can absorb moisture.
