Pick up the correct statement from the following :
When rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration capacity, the water enters the soil at full capacity rate

The actual infiltration rate at any time may be equal to or less than the infiltration capacity
The actual prevailing rate of infiltration of water in the soil at any time, is known as infiltration rate
All the above.

No, it will start to be a runoff.
Vijay Kumar said:   6 years ago
Infiltration capacity is nothing but MAXIMUM INFILTRATION RATE.

What option A is saying is correct.

So when the Rainfall rate is more than the Max Infiltration rate it's obvious that the water will enter at full capacity rate.

A is the right answer because after rainfall exceeds the infiltration capacity, water enters with full saturation.
Subhash kumar said:   7 years ago
The answe should be D.
Navneet said:   7 years ago
Yeah, A must be wrong.
Roshan khandekar said:   7 years ago
Option A is wrong because after 100% saturation i.e.full infiltration capacity. How could water enter the soil?
