If the rain starts at 8.00PM on 10November 2015, use Horton's Equation to solve for the infiltration capacity of the soil (mm per hat 12:30AM the next day. Given the initial infiltration capacity of the soil is 0.0386 cm per min, the time constant as 0.1018 per hour, and the capacity of soit for hrial infiltration is 0.6683 cm per hour. Detailed solution step by step
For clay soil at a given location parameters of Philip's equation were found as S = 45 cm/hr 0.5, and K = 10 cm/hr. Determine the cumulative infiltration and the infiltration rate at 0.5 hr increments for a 3-hour period. Plot both as functions of time. Assume continuously ponded conditions.
The figure below represents a system with flow in the horizontal direction. Find the value of each pressure charge, level charge, and total charge in A, B, C, D, E, F, G, plus the real and approximate velocity of water flow plotting all of the above, given that soil porosity = 0.33 and transmittance coefficient = 0.50 cm/sec
For the two-dimensional flow system shown below (units in meters):Compute the total flow rate under the Dam. X = 4, Y = 8. Note 1: Point A is located in the middle point of the equipotential lines. Point B is located in the middle point of the flow lines.Note 2: Assume e=0.8 (void ratio) and k=10^-3 cm/s (coeff. of permeability).Note 3: Datum is located at the bottom level of the water (right side of Dam).Note 4: Remember, the figure is drawn to scale. So, use the value of 2X+Y to estimate any dimension that you consider necessary.
For a small catchment, the infiltration rate at the beginning of rain was observed to be 90 mm/hr and decreased exponentially to a constant rate of 8 mm/hr after 2.5 hr was 50 mm. Develop the Horton's equation for the infiltration rate at any time t < 2.5 hr.

Take note: Answer and write your solution on a clean paper clearly. During a flood flow the depth of water in a 12 m wide rectangular channel was found to be 3.5 m and 3.3 m at two sections 300 m apart. The drop in the water-surface elevation was found to be 0.18 m. Assuming Manning’s coefficient to be 0.023, determine the following: a. Average value of k? b. Estimate the flood discharge through the channel ?
Solve the following: To determine the daily evaporation at lake, a USWB evaporation pan is maintained. The water level in the pan is 200mm at the beginning and is observed every day. Water is added if the water falls to about 17.5cm to the same depth during the first day.
