1. Percolation is the movement of water within soil profile, a process that follows infiltration. 2. Berm is the horizontal distance left at ground level between the toe of the bank and the top edge of cutting 3. Volume of water relative to the total volume of fluids (air + water) This index ranges from zero in completely dry soil to unity in a saturated soil called Degree of Saturation

Question
Question No. (4): Answer with True or False for the following
1. Percolation is the movement of water within soil profile, a process that follows
infiltration.
2. Berm is the horizontal distance left at ground level between the toe of the bank and
the top edge of cutting
3. Volume of water relative to the total volume of fluids (air + water) This index ranges
from zero in completely dry soil to unity in a saturated soil called Degree of
Saturation
4. the emergency transition longitudinal slop of canal berm is 1:15
5. Irrigation is the artificial means of providing water to soil to ensure enough moisture
essential for plant life and growth
7- Interception loss is that part of the precipitation that falls on plants and doesn't reach
the ground. It evaporates (or sublimates) from leaves, near-ground plants and leaf
litter or, to a lesser extent, is absorbed by plants
Good luck
