What is hydraulic conductivity?
Think about how quickly water passes through different types of soil.
Define soil matrix.
Consider how water moves through the soil.
What is the primary principle used in analyzing soil matrix flow?
Think about the principles involved when dealing with flow in fluids.
True or False: Higher hydraulic conductivity results in slower seepage.
Consider how different soils allow water to flow.
Calculate the seepage through a soil matrix when Q1 = 0.2 L/s, Q2 = 0.1 L/s, and Q3 = 0.15 L/s. Assume a constant K of 0.1 L/s.
Focus on inflow and outflow relations.
If the storage in a soil matrix increases from 5 L to 10 L in 1 hour, what is the infiltration rate if Q1 = 0.1 L/s and Q2 = 0.2 L/s.
Remember to convert storage changes to a per-second basis.
