Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A town experiences a rainfall event with an initial abstraction of 5 mm. Using the SCS formula, calculate the potential maximum retention if the curve number is known to be 35.

💡 Hint: Remember to rearrange the formula correctly.

Question 2

Analyze the impact of increasing urbanization on peak runoff and how it relates to changes in depression storage. Discuss your findings.

💡 Hint: Consider how urban structures alter water pathways.
