Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A soil has a sorptivity (S) of 0.1 m/day and a steady-state infiltration rate (A) of 0.2 m/day. Calculate the infiltration rate after 9 days.

💡 Hint: Focus on the square root of time and multiply it properly.

Question 2

Discuss how changes in soil texture (e.g., from clay to sandy) affect the components of Philip's Equation and resulting infiltration rates.

💡 Hint: Think about how the water moves differently through various soil types.
