Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If you were tasked to design a rainfall data collection network over a 2500 km² area that consists of both flat and hilly regions, what factors would you consider in planning the placement of gauge stations?

💡 Hint: Think about how each terrain may receive rainfall differently.

Question 2

Assuming a region is experiencing climate change, leading to unpredictable rainfall patterns, how would that impact the IMD's rain gauge recommendations?

💡 Hint: Consider the need for adaptability in regulatory frameworks.
