Question 1

What is hydraulic conductivity?

  • The ability of soil to retain moisture
  • The rate of water flow through soil
  • The type of soil present

💡 Hint: Focus on water movement, not moisture retention.

Question 2

True or False: Higher hydraulic conductivity means water moves slower through the soil.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what the term 'conductivity' suggests.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given two soil samples, sandy soil (K = 10 cm/s) and clay soil (K = 0.1 cm/s), how would you design an irrigation system based on their hydraulic conductivities?

💡 Hint: Consider the rate that water will move in each type of soil.

Question 2

Analyze how altering the moisture level in clay soil from saturation to field capacity may affect its hydraulic conductivity.

💡 Hint: Think of how air and water interact in soil.
