. State the condition that for a given rainfall (or snowmelt) event would never generate infiltration excess runoff. This should be written in terms of the rainfall/melt rate P and the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soil K. Suppose the volumetric soil moisture at a particular site is measured to be 0.024. Immediately after the soil moisture measurement is taken, the region experiences a snowmelt event lasting 12 hours with a uniform melt flux intensity P of 0.69 mm/hr. Assume that this region is uniformly covered by sandy loam soil (Ks 12.49 cm/hr). Similar to a rainfall event, a snowmelt event can result in infiltration and/or infiltration excess runoff. In the case of a snowmelt event, the melt flux/rate would be analogous to the rainfall rate during a storm event.
