Question: A soil survey revealed a map unit that has soil porosity s = 0 . 4 5 3 c m 3 c m 3 ,

A soil survey revealed a map unit that has soil porosity s=0.453cm3cm3, initial soil water content i=0.041cm3cm3, wetting front capillary pressure head f=-11cm, and saturated hydraulic conductivity of Ks=1.09cmhr. A rainfall event of uniform rain intensity =7cmhr and duration of 48 hours took place over this map unit area.
Find using the Green-Ampt model, a) the infiltration rate ) versus the cumulative infiltration ( cm ) curve after the time of ponding (of soil surface saturation) until t=8hr over this map unit area under the above-described rainfall event when 6.2 cm depth of ponded water formed over the soil surface at the time of ponding; and
b) the cumulative infiltration (cm) versus time (hr) after the time of ponding until t=8hr for the above-described rainfall event when 6.2 cm depth of ponded water formed over the soil surface at the time of ponding.
