Question

Formula of rate of percolation is

• A. Percolation rate (mL/min) = $\frac{amountofwater\left(mL\right)}{percolationtime\left(min\right)}$
• B. Percolation rate (mL/min) = $\frac{percolationtime\left(min\right)}{amountofwater\left(mL\right)}$
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Percolation rate (mL/min) = $\frac{amountofwater\left(mL\right)}{percolationtime\left(min\right)}$

• The process of absorption of water by the soil is called percolation. It is different for different soil types and depends upon the soil compositions. It is calculated by the formula i.e., percolation rate = amount of water/percolation time.

Thus the correct answer is option A.
