Multiple choice

The vertical hydraulic conductivity of the top soil at certain is 0.2 cm/hr. A storm of intensity 0.5 cm/hr occurs over the soil for an indefinite period. Assuming the surface drainage to be adequate, the infiltration rate after the storm has lasted for a very long time, shall be

  1. smaller than 0.2 cm/hr

  2. 0.2 cm/hr

  3. between 0.2 and 0.5 cm/hr

  4. 0.5 cm/hr

B Correct answer
Explanation

 Since, the surface drainage is adequate. So, infiltration capacity will be equal to the vertical hydraulic conductivity of the soil as 0.2 cm/h.
