Question 1

What is the primary formula to derive DDF curves?

  • Intensity ÷ Duration
  • Depth = Intensity × Duration
  • Depth ÷ Intensity

💡 Hint: Think about how each component interacts.

Question 2

True or False: DDF curves can represent only rainfall intensity.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what DDF stands for.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A storm produces an intensity of 75 mm/hr for 45 minutes. Calculate the rainfall depth and contextualize how this depth could affect local waterways.

💡 Hint: Convert minutes to hours before performing the multiplication.

Question 2

Consider a catchment area that receives an IDF indicating an average intensity of 50 mm/hr for a storm lasting 2 hours. How does this example illustrate the use of DDF curves?

💡 Hint: Again, remember that depth is key in DDF applications.
