Darcy's Hydraulic Conductivity given Infiltration Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Conductivity = Infiltration Capacity at Any Time t-(1/2)*Sorptivity*Time^-1/2
k = f_p-(1/2)*s*t^-1/2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Conductivity - (Measured in Centimeter per Hour) - Hydraulic Conductivity depends on the size and arrangement of the water-transmitting openings and on the dynamic characteristics of the fluid.
Infiltration Capacity at Any Time t - (Measured in Centimeter per Hour) - Infiltration Capacity at Any Time t from the start of the rainfall is the rate at which water percolates in the soil.
Sorptivity - Sorptivity is a function of soil suction potential and measures the capacity of the medium to absorb or desorb liquid by capillarity.
Time - (Measured in Hour) - Time is an ongoing and continuous sequence of events that occur in succession, from the past through the present, and to the future. Here it is for rainfall.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Infiltration Capacity at Any Time t: 16 Centimeter per Hour --> 16 Centimeter per Hour No Conversion Required
Sorptivity: 10 --> No Conversion Required
Time: 2 Hour --> 2 Hour No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k = f_p-(1/2)*s*t^-1/2 --> 16-(1/2)*10*2^-1/2

Evaluating ... ...

k = 14.75

What is Soil Hydraulic Conductivity?

In scientific terms, hydraulic conductivity is defined as the ability of a porous medium (soil for instance) to transmit water under saturated or nearly saturated conditions.

What is Infiltration capacity?

The Infiltration capacity is defined as the maximum rate of infiltration. It is most often measured in meters per day but can also be measured in other units of distance over time if necessary. The infiltration capacity decreases as the soil moisture content of soils surface layers increases.
