Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Soil-Water-Plant Relationship

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

Question Statement:

A double-ring infiltrometer has an inner ring diameter of $30\text{ cm}$ ($0.30\text{ m}$). Over a period of $30\text{ minutes}$ ($0.5\text{ h}$), the water level in the inner cylinder drops by $15\text{ mm}$. Calculate the infiltration rate in $\text{mm/h}$.

Answer Key:

30

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$\text{Infiltration Rate} = \frac{\Delta h}{\Delta t} = \frac{15\text{ mm}}{0.5\text{ h}} = 30.0\text{ mm/h}$
