4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the term 'infiltration capacity' refer to?
Think about the limits of soil absorption.
What does 'k' represent in Horton's Equation?
It starts with a 'd' and relates to timing.
What does Horton's Equation model?
Think about how water enters the soil.
Is the final steady infiltration rate (f_c) greater than the initial infiltration rate (f_0)?
Which one is measured first?
Consider a soil with an initial infiltration rate of 100 mm/hr, a steady-state rate of 20 mm/hr, and k=0.1. Calculate the infiltration rate after 5 hours using Horton's Equation.
Start with finding the exponential part to simplify your calculations.
Discuss how changes in rainfall intensity could impact the parameters of Horton's Equation during a storm event.
Consider the concept of saturation and how quickly soil can absorb moisture.
