27.2.5. Temperature

Try these first

1. 1.

   What happens to infiltration capacity in warmer temperatures?

   Hint

   Think about how temperature changes water's ability to flow.

2. 2.

   What occurs when the soil is frozen?

   Hint

   Consider what happens to water when it freezes.

3. 3.

   How does warmer temperature affect water viscosity?

   • Increases
   • Decreases
   • No Change

   Hint

   Consider how heating substances often changes their flow.

4. 4.

   True or False: Frozen soils allow for better infiltration.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about what happens to water when it freezes.

5. 5.

   Given a scenario of heavy rainfall on frozen ground, predict the consequence on stormwater systems.

   Hint

   Consider the relationship between water absorption and ground temperature.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the implications of varying temperature conditions for groundwater recharge during seasons.

   Hint

   Analyze seasonal temperature trends and their effects on soil properties.
