1. Plot
P
and
h
in the graph.
2. Draw a straight line that goes through the origin and provides the best fit with all
five points.
3. Determine the slope of the straight line and estimate
S
y
.
4. The sediments in this wetland are rich in clay (20-30 % by weight). Discuss the
relation between
S
y
and the texture (i.e., grain size distribution) of the sediments.
Would sandy sediments have higher or lower
S
y
than the value computed in this
exercise?
