Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a watershed area of 150 acres with a runoff coefficient of 0.3 and a storm with an intensity of 2.5 inches per hour, calculate the peak runoff using the Rational Method.

💡 Hint: Remember unit conversions!

Question 2

Analyze the flood response of two different watersheds: one with urban development and a high impervious surface ratio and another with rural terrain. Discuss how the Unit Hydrograph and Rational Method would differ in their estimates.

💡 Hint: Think about the characteristics of each type of surface related to runoff.
