7.19. Wastewater containing 2.01 g/m³ of pesticide percolates through a soil treatment system. Adsorption has been determined to follow a Langmuir isotherm with a = 1.01 and b=0.003 m³/g. Determine the mass of pesticide that will potentially accumulate in the soil if the cross-sectional area is 20 m² and the depth is 4 m. The dry density of the soil is approximately 2400 kg/m³.
Consider the following data for a soil: Root zone depth = 2.5 m Existing water content 12% Dry density of soil = 18 kN/m Water applied to the soil = 500m Water lost due to evapotranspiration and deep percolation = 10% Area of plot = 1000 m2 Density of water =10kN/m What is the field capacity of this soil? %3D
