Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A plot of land has varying soil types with different saturated hydraulic conductivities. How would you adjust your use of the Green-Ampt model to account for this variability?
💡 Hint: Think about dividing complex problems into simpler, homogeneous units.
Given a scenario where a rainfall event results in total infiltration of 40 mm over 4 hours in a uniform soil profile, derive the average infiltration rate and discuss how you could model this using the Green-Ampt framework.
💡 Hint: Consider mathematical relationships between total infiltration, time, and the parameters used in the Green-Ampt model.
