Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a soil’s initial infiltration rate is 60 mm/hr, final rate is 15 mm/hr, and the decay constant is 0.3, derive the rate of infiltration after 4 hours using Horton’s Equation.

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate the exponential part accurately.

Question 2

Critically analyze how changing soil texture from sandy to clay might affect the parameters in Horton’s Equation. What implications would these changes have on water management?

💡 Hint: Consider how soil composition affects permeability and absorption.
