Answer:

3.29ft/mi

Explanation:

The gradient of a river is the slope through which a river flows. It measures the vertical drop in elevation of river to the horizontal distance.

 Mathematically;

  River gradient = \frac{Elevation}{horizontal distance}  

 Elevation  = 1229ft

Horizontal distance  = 373miles

  River gradient  = \frac{1229}{373}   = 3.29ft/mi

Water which is lost from the root zone through downward percolation may move back into the plant root zone during dry periods by
tresset_1 [31]

It is possible, during times of drought, for water that has been removed from the root zone of the plant as a result of downward percolation to travel back up into the root zone through capillary movement.

This will be discussed in further detail below.

<h3>What exactly is the movement of capillaries?</h3>

Percolation is the process by which water moves downward through the root zone of a plant. When circumstances are dry, water that has traveled downward through the root zone as a consequence of percolation may possibly travel back up into the root zone of the plant. In general. capillary movement and migration

Only when the adhesive forces in the liquid are greater than the cohesive forces, which always produce surface tension, can capillary action take place. Capillary action is a physical phenomenon.

In conclusion, the phenomenon known as capillary action refers to the movement of a liquid through a limited space either without the assistance of any external forces, such as gravity, or even in opposition to such force.
