Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infiltration rate refers to the actual rate at which soil is able to absorb rainfall or irrigation, whereas infiltration capacity is the maximum rate at which soil can absorb water. Therefore, the infiltration rate can be equal to the infiltration capacity when conditions are ideal, or less than the infiltration capacity when conditions are not optimal, but it cannot exceed the infiltration capacity.
