Problem 1. A farmer irrigates 2 hectares of corn the first week in July when the average depth of rooting was 0.55 m. Two days after irrigation he takes a soil auger to the field and by boring holes into the soil determines that the average depth of penetration in each 4 hectare of the 2 hectares is as follows: Ave. Depth of Penetration (m) 0.41 0.48 0.55 0.61 0.54 0.45 0.42 0.55 (a) What is the water distribution efficiency? (b) What is the water storage efficiency?

Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.
