Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given initial rainfall data records for a station and neighboring stations yield a visible break in consistency on a Double Mass Curve plot. How would you determine the corrective action?

💡 Hint: Use your understanding of slopes and where to apply changes.

Challenge 2 Hard

Assess and critique a situation where multiple neighboring stations show inconsistent data. What alternatives could be utilized beyond DMC?

💡 Hint: Think about other methods that help in validating data integrity.
