Question

Basic infiltration theory is used to study infiltration into a loam soil. Two experiments are conducted: a horizontal infiltration experiment and a vertical infiltration experiment. Each experiment starts with an initially dry soil. For the horizontal infiltration experiment we find that it takes 2 hours to infiltrate 125 mm of water (equivalent depth). For the vertical infiltration experiment we find that it takes 2 hours to infiltrate 133 mm of water.

Calculate the sorptivity of the loam soil

Calculate the hydraulic conductivity of the loam soil [assume that we are dealing with a long-duration experiment

What will be the infiltration rate after 4 hours of horizontal infiltration?

What will be the infiltration rate after 4 hours of vertical infiltration?
