Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the cumulative infiltration if an infiltration rate starts at 20 mm/hr and decreases to 5 mm/hr over 2 hours.

💡 Hint: Think about how to average the rates over the time period.

Question 2

A soil has an infiltration capacity of 30 mm/hr. If rainfall exceeds this rate, discuss the implications for runoff and soil saturation.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between input water and soil's ability to absorb it.
