Given an initial rate of infiltration equal to 1.5 in./hr and a final capacity of 0.5 in./hr, use Horton’s equation [Equation] to find the infiltration capacity at the following times: t = 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, 4 hr, and 6 hr. You may assume a time constant k = 0.25/hr.

Equation

f = fc + (fo - fc)e-kt, (2–42)

where

f = infiltration capacity (in./hr),

fo = initial infiltration capacity (in./hr),

fc = final capacity (in./hr),

k = empirical constant (hr – 1 ).
