Expert Solution
Introduction
In the given Hydrograph, the rate of change of infiltration capacity with respect to time is shown. As time passes, the soil becomes more saturated with water, and the infiltration rate subsequently decreases. From studying this rate in fall of infiltration capacity, the nature, porosity, and permeability of the soil can be understood.
