Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using Horton’s infiltration model, determine the infiltration rate at time t=5 minutes if the initial infiltration rate is 20 cm/h, the final rate is 10 cm/h, and the decay constant is 0.1.

💡 Hint: First, calculate the exponent before multiplying.

Question 2

Compare and contrast the applications of Philip’s equation and Green-Ampt model in urban vs. agricultural settings.

💡 Hint: Think about the physical environment and the types of surfaces involved.
