Task: Story Composition
Input (English): Background Paragraph: Precipitation can impact infiltration in many ways. The amount, type and duration of precipitation all have an impact. Rainfall leads to faster infiltration rates than any other precipitation events, such as snow or sleet. In terms of amount, the more precipitation that occurs, the more infiltration will occur until the ground reaches saturation, at which point the infiltration capacity is reached. Duration of rainfall impacts the infiltration capacity as well. Initially when the precipitation event first starts the infiltration is occurring rapidly as the soil is unsaturated, but as time continues the infiltration rate slows as the soil becomes more saturated. This relationship between rainfall and infiltration capacity also determines how much runoff will occur. If rainfall occurs at a rate faster than the infiltration capacity runoff will occur.
Output (English): Steve is planning on building his house and needs to decide on what area to build in. He wants an area with low infiltration of the soil. He has narrowed down his choices to Miami, which has heavy rainfalls, and no snow, and Green Bay, which has more snowfall than rainfall.
