Q1.(10 points) Using the Brooks and Corey Model, estimate the moisture content (i) and the
magnitude of the tension head () in cm in a soil for which the unsaturated hydraulic
conductivity K() was measured as 2cmhr.
The residual moisture content r is equal to 0.05
The porosity n is equal to 0.6
Assume that the pore size distribution index is 2
The saturated hydraulic conductivity K(s) is equal to 6cmhr
The magnitude of air entry tension ac is equal to 50 cm
