According to Robert E. Horton, the equation of infiltration capacity curve, is (where letters carry their usual meanings)
f = fc (fo - fc) ekt
f = ft - (fo - fc) e-kt
f = ft + (fo - fc) e-kt
f = f + (fo - fc) ekt

fp = fc + (fo - fc)e-kt.
where fp = the infiltration capacity (depth/time) at some time t.
k = a constant representing the rate of decrease in f capacity,
fc = a final or equilibrium capacity,
f0 = the initial infiltration capacity.

The correct answer is A.

f = infiltration capacity.
fc = value of infiltration after it reach a constant value.
fo = infiltration capacity at the start.
k = constant.
t= time from beginning of rainfall.

C only correct but it should be f(t)=fc + (fo - fc) e-kt.

Bhagwat said:   7 years ago
The Correct answer is A.

Teba said:   7 years ago
Yes, I agree @Mallikarjun.

Vinod said:   7 years ago
Yes, right @Malikarjun.

Rahul said:   7 years ago
According to me, B is the correct answer.

Sudhakar said:   6 years ago
I think A is the correct answer.

Ramyahegde said:   6 years ago
It is F = fc+(fo-fc)e^-kt.
