Question

a) Name two models used to estimate infiltration capacity.
b) What assumptions and conditions are needed for these models?
c) What is “ponding time?” Describe the concept, and explain how it relates to using the infiltration capacity models.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Infiltration Capacity

Infiltration Capacity:

When the surface groundwater enters in subsurface then it is known as infiltration. The maximum rate of hydration is determined using infiltration capacity. The infiltration capacity increases with the decrease in the moisture content of the soil. Infiltration models are used to determine the infiltration rates and soil potential which are given below.
