Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a lake has a certain amount of sediments at rest, describe what happens during a heavy rainfall. Include the implications for both water and sediment quality.

💡 Hint: Consider how the dynamics of flow and sediment interaction are impacted.

Question 2

A wetland area experiences flooding. Calculate the increase in contaminant concentration if 500 kg with 80 mg/kg concentration is resuspended into 1500 liters of water. What factors need to be considered in evaluating the risk of toxicity?

💡 Hint: Use the conceptual framework of risk assessment and consider freshwater criteria.
