Question

Infiltration rate is always -

A.

Less than the infiltration capacity

B.

Equal to or less than the infiltration capacity

C.

Equal to or more than the infiltration capacity

D.

More than the infiltration capacity

Correct option is B


Relationship Between Infiltration Rate and Capacity:
The infiltration rate is governed by the availability of water at the surface and the soil's infiltration capacity:
1. If the infiltration capacity is greater than or equal to the supply of water (e.g., light rain), the infiltration rate equals the infiltration capacity.
2. If the infiltration capacity is less than the water supply (e.g., heavy rain), the infiltration rate will be limited to the infiltration capacity, and excess water will contribute to surface runoff.
