3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does f₀ represent in Horton’s Equation?
What does the 'initial' mean?
What is the decay constant (k) in relation to infiltration?
Think about the rate of change.
What does f_c represent in Horton’s Equation?
Think about what happens after prolonged rainfall.
True or False: A higher decay constant indicates a slower decrease in infiltration rates.
Recall the relationship between k and infiltration time.
Using Horton’s Equation, if f₀ is 40 mm/h, f_c is 15 mm/h, and k is 0.1, calculate what the infiltration rate will be after 10 hours.
Use the formula directly, just substitute the values.
Discuss how different soil types might alter the values of f₀, f_c, and k when using Horton’s Equation in real-life scenarios.
Think about soil structure and its impact on water retention.
