Question

True False

1. In saturated flow conditions, soil water moves according to gravitational potential only. T/F

2. Water moves from areas of lower water potential to areas of higher water potential. T/F

3. The rate of capillary rise is faster in coarse-textured soils than fine-textured soils. T/F

4. The soil moisture content at which plants wilt and fail to recover their turgidity is the permanent wilting point, T/F

5. During saturated flow condition movement of water in the soil is through capillary effect. T/F

1) True- Saturated flow also called gravitational flow occurs when force of gravity is greater than force of holding water in soil.

2) False- Water moves from areas of higher water potential to areas where it is lower and this is called osmosis.

3)False- because smaller the soil pores, the higher capillary rise

4) True

5) False- because capillary effect is in unsaturated condition
