5.1 Soil Dry Percolation Rate
In this lab you will investigate the dry percolation rate of a soil. The dry percolation rate of a soil is a measure of how fast water flows through dry soil. This is important as it will help determine how well a particular soil will cope with heavy or continuous rain and whether this will increase or decrease chances of flooding. This lab can also be used to help understand hydrological systems and understand the...
