A soil has the following soil properties for use in the Green-Ampt equation: Ks = 1.5 in/hr, Os 0.523, Y= -9.8 in, and Oi = 0.308 when there is a constant intensity of i = 8.2 in/hr. Using the Green-Ampt infiltration method, find the volume of water that will infiltrate before saturation is reached and time to saturation. Plot the infiltration rate and total infiltration volume on the same graph.
