Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a rainstorm with a total rainfall of 100 mm and a φ-index of 10 mm/hr, how much runoff can you expect if the storm lasted for 5 hours?

💡 Hint: Remember the basic formula involving rainfall and infiltration.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where the W-index indicates that initial abstraction is accounted for. If the total rainfall is 50 mm, the initial loss is 10 mm, and the runoff is 20 mm, what can you infer about specific infiltration during this period?

💡 Hint: Focus on understanding how initial losses affect your final calculations.
