   Hint

   Think about natural environments.

2. 2.

   Which land use has about 0 mm of depression storage?

   Hint

   Consider the surfaces commonly found in cities.

3. 3.

   What is the depression storage range for forests?

   • 0-1 mm
   • 2-5 mm
   • 1-3 mm

   Hint

   Remember the natural habitats.

4. 4.

   True or False: Urban areas have high depression storage.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about city landscapes.

5. 5.

   Assess the implications of low depression storage in urban areas on flood management strategies.

   Hint

   Consider how water flows through urban settings.

6. 6.

   Design a small-scale stormwater retention project for a rural area focusing on maximizing depression storage in cultivated lands.

   Hint

   Think of natural farming practices that assist water retention.
