SOIL PROBLEMS POROSITY, PERMEABILITY, RETENTION

1a) Given information: Cross sectional area = (п)(r 2 ) Volume of water = 50 ml Permeability = 10 sec = min Percolation - the volume of water flowing through the soil at a given rate Cross sectional area = п (3cm) 2 = 28.3 cm 2 Percolation = 50 ml/ 28.3 cm 2 /0.167 min = ml/cm 2 /min

1b) Water holding capacity is the percent of water retained by the soil Difference after drying 25.8 g – 22.3 g = 3.5 g Water holding capacity (3.5 g/25.8 g)(100) = 13.6 %
