aUse the parameters given to graph the infiltration rate vs. the infiltration volume for the same storm for both types of soil. Prepare a graph using the Green-Ampt method, comparing all the curves calculated with both the lower-bound and upper- bound porosity parameters. The rainfall intensity of the storm was 1.5 cm/hr for several hours, and the initial moisture content of all the soils was 0.15.
