Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Soil-Water-Plant Relationship

Subtopic: Measurement of infiltration, soil moisture and irrigation water infiltration

Question Statement:

In Kostiakov's cumulative infiltration equation $Z = k t^a$, cumulative infiltration depth is $Z = 3.0\text{ cm}$ at $t = 1\text{ hour}$ ($k = 3.0$). If $a = 0.50$, calculate the cumulative infiltration depth in $\text{cm}$ after $t = 4\text{ hours}$.

Answer Key:

6

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$Z = 3.0 \times (4)^{0.50} = 3.0 \times 2.0 = 6.0\text{ cm}$
