Question 1.
What is the equation for Horton's Model?
Show hintHide hint
It involves initial and final rates.
Question 2.
What does Philip's Model take into account?
Show hintHide hint
Look for terms like conductivity and sorptivity.
3Question 3.
What does Horton's model express?
- Constant rate of infiltration
- Decreasing infiltration rate over time
- Infiltration based on temperature
Show hintHide hint
Concept of changing rates in relation to water absorption.
4Question 4.
Is the Green-Ampt Model physically based?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about its design purpose.
Question 5.
Calculate the infiltration capacity using Horton's model with given parameters: initial rate = 30 mm/hr, final capacity = 10 mm/hr, and k = 0.05 hr^-1 after 4 hours.
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula's structure to plug in your numbers correctly.
Question 6.
You are designing a drainage system for a sandy soil region. Describe how you would select an infiltration model and why.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how soil texture influences water movement decisions.
