Question 1

What is the primary purpose of the φ-Index?

  • To calculate total rainfall
  • To evaluate soil texture
  • To determine runoff potential

💡 Hint: Remember its relationship with rainfall and surface runoff.

Question 2

Is the φ-Index dependent on initial soil moisture content?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how wet soils behave differently than dry soils.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rainfall event produces 120 mm of rain and results in 40 mm of runoff over a duration of 3 hours. Calculate the φ-Index, then discuss how varying rainfall intensities might impact this value.

💡 Hint: Focus on applying the φ formula first, then analyze intensity impacts.

Question 2

Imagine a city that has an average φ-Index of 15 mm/hr. Predict how changes in land use due to increased impervious surfaces might affect this value and potential flooding risks.

💡 Hint: Consider urban development impacts on water absorption during rainfall.
