Soil Science- ICAR JRF/SRF 2024
MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1
If cumulative horizontal infiltration of a soil is 90 mm at 100 min and saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soil is 0.1 mm/min, the cumulative vertical infiltration at 100 min will be
  • Philip's Infiltration Equation:
  • Horizontal cumulative infiltration (driven solely by matric suction absorption):
$$I_h(t) = S \cdot t^{1/2} = 90\text{ mm at } 100\text{ min}$$
  • Vertical cumulative infiltration (combines matric sorptivity and gravity transmission):
$$I_v(t) = S \cdot t^{1/2} + K_s \cdot t$$
  • Calculation:
$$I_v(100) = 90\text{ mm} + (0.1\text{ mm/min} \times 100\text{ min}) = 90\text{ mm} + 10\text{ mm} = 100\text{ mm}$$
  • Conclusion: Cumulative vertical infiltration at 100 min is 100 mm. (Correct answer: Option 4)
