Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You have rainfall data showing 100 mm over a 4-hour storm. The hydrograph indicates direct runoff of 70 mm, and initial losses are estimated at 25 mm. Calculate both the φ-index and W-index.
💡 Hint: Break down the calculations step by step.
Question 2
Discuss the potential consequences of overlooking initial losses when estimating runoff in an urban drainage system.
💡 Hint: Consider the role of initial conditions in runoff generation.
