Question 1

What is infiltration?

  • A process of water movement from the soil to the atmosphere
  • A process where water moves from the surface into the soil
  • The total volume of water that has infiltrated

💡 Hint: Focus on where the water is moving to.

Question 2

True or False: Saturation-excess runoff is triggered when the rate of rainfall exceeds the infiltration capacity.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how saturation impacts runoff.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a watershed with a known infiltration rate, calculate the expected runoff during a heavy rain event if the rain exceeds the infiltration limit. Discuss the implications if the model underestimates infiltration.

💡 Hint: Remember to focus on what happens when infiltration is less than rainfall.

Question 2

Analyze a case study of a recent flood event in your area. What role did soil infiltration play, and how could different modeling techniques have changed the flood predictions?

💡 Hint: Look into historical data and model predictions regarding infiltration.
