3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the term 'S' in Philip's Equation represent?
Think about how fast water starts soaking into the ground.
What is the purpose of the steady infiltration rate (A)?
This rate comes after the initial period of absorption.
What does 'S' in Philip’s Equation measure?
Consider how rapidly soil begins to soak up water.
Philip's Equation is primarily used in which field?
This field focuses on water and its distribution.
An area of sandy soil has a sorptivity of 0.3 cm/min, and a steady infiltration rate of 1.5 cm/min. Calculate the infiltration capacity after 10 minutes.
Remember, you'll want to break it down by plugging in each value as per the equation's components.
Discuss the implications of low sorptivity and steady infiltration rate for flood management in a developed urban area.
Consider all consequences of poor absorption rates in managing stormwater.
