How Long It Takes Water To Soak Into Parched Ground
A video of a simple experiment with water has gone viral on the internet these days.
With an experiment, they showed how quickly water is absorbed by waterlogged soil, how quickly it is absorbed by the soil during normal summer days, and how water is absorbed by the soil during drought.
A video made by Dr. Rob Thompson, is already a real hit on the Internet - more than 4 million Internet users have seen the scenes on the Twitter social network alone.
Water was absorbed first by the wet soil, followed by the soil during normal summer days, and the soil during the dry season absorbed water the slowest. That is why floods are much more common during the dry season after heavy rains.
Take a look at a simple experiment in which the authors showed how a dry period affects water absorption in parched soil.
