A small tube with a cross-sectional area of 65 cm2 is filled with soil and laid vertically with its upper surface saturated. The open end of the tube is saturated, and after 22 minutes, 124 cm3 of water have infiltrated into the tube. If the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soil is 0.55 cm/h, determine how much infiltration would have taken place in 45 minutes if the soil column had initially been placed horizontal

Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.
