Transcribed Image Text:

A cylindrical soil column of 100. cm² cross-sectional area and 50.-cm height is filled with homogeneous soil and saturated, and 10. the cm of water is kept ponded on the surface. The soil column is open to the atmosphere and freely draining at the bottom. The steady-state volumetric flow rate through the soil column is 1000. cm³ h-¹. a. Draw a sketch of this soil column. b. Create a table to determine the difference in hydraulic head across the column. c. Convert the volumetric flow rate to water flux (cm h¹). d. Calculate the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soil.
