percolation rate (mL/min) = amount of water (mL)/percolation time (min)

For example, suppose that for a

certain sample, it took 20 minutes for 200 mL to percolate. So,

rate of percolation =200 ml/20 min=10 ml/min.

Weight of soil = 50g

Initial volume of water in the

measuring cylinder = U mL

Final volume of water in the

measuring cylinder = V mL

Volume of water absorbed by the soil

= (U

Weight of water absorbed by the soil

= (U

(1 mL of water has weight equal to 1 g)

percentage of water absorbed=(U-V)*100/50
