Question

Name two soil properties that can affect infiltration rates. How does application rate affect infiltration? Why are infiltration rates typically higher in a sandy than in a clay soil?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The ability of soil allowing the movement of water throughout out and into the soil profile is defined as the soil infiltration. It temporarily stores water used by the plants and soil organisms. It is expressed in inches per hour but it is recorded in minutes for each inch of water applied to the soil surface. Devices such as infiltrometers, permeameters, and rainfall simulators are used to measure infiltration rates.

Ex: rainwater and melted snow
