Water absorption rate of the soil is defined as the capacity of the soil to absorb water from the surrounding areas.
Now the details of Anubhav's paddy field soil sample is
Amount of water = 36mL
Time taken for this amount to percolate down the sample= 60 minutes
hence
Rate of population =Amount of water (mL)Percolation time (min)=36 mL60 m=0.6 mL/min
Ans:0.6 mL/min
