Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a storm that produced 100 mm of rain over an area of 10 km², calculate the average depth using the isohyetal method with a surrounding area having 200 mm rainfall over another 20 km².

💡 Hint: Combine the rainfall and area first.

Question 2

Discuss how the assumptions made in DAD curve derivation might affect flood risk estimations in light of climate change.

💡 Hint: Consider how patterns of rainfall might shift.
