Percolation rate - Soil

What equation do we use to find the percolation rate of the soil ?

• Rate of Percolation = Amount of water / Percolation of water

• Rate of Percolation = Amount of nutrients / Percolation of oxygen

• Rate of Percolation = Amount of water / Percolation Time

Percolation rate of water is different in different types of soil . It is the Highest in _________ and the Lowest In ____________ .

Which soil retains the most water ?

• Sand

• Loam

• Clay

• Top Soil

In a setup of percolation experiment 1.8 litres of water is percolated in 30 minutes. calculate the percolation rate in ml/min & write the answer.

Sabith poured 500 ml of water on a certain soil sample. She noted that it took 50 mins for the water to percolate through it . Calculate the rate of percolation of the soil .

• 5 ml / min

• 10 ml / min

• 25 ml / min

• 80 ml / min

In a certain sample, it took 82 min for 820 ml to percolate into the soil. Find the percolation rate of the soil.

• 11 ml /min

• 18 ml/min

• 36 ml /min

• 10 ml/min
