Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have two plots of land, one compacted with concrete and another with loose loam soil. During a heavy rain, predict the infiltration rates and potential runoff for both areas, explaining your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Consider the properties of the materials involved—impervious versus porous.

Question 2

Discuss how different farming practices can enhance infiltration in agricultural fields. Provide specific methods and expected outcomes.

💡 Hint: Think about sustainable techniques that benefit both the soil and the environment.
