Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using the general IDF equation, derive the rainfall intensity for a region with K=6, C=5, m=2, n=2 for a duration of 30 minutes and a return period of 20 years. How does this compare to expected local rainfall?

💡 Hint: Ensure to manipulate powers and perform accurate arithmetic.

Question 2

Analyze the impact of changing the empirical constant K on the rainfall intensity calculated using Sherman's equation versus the general equation. What trends do you observe?

💡 Hint: Use numerical examples to illustrate trends.
