Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does the φ-index represent?

  • A constant infiltration rate during storms
  • Average rate of infiltration equating excess rainfall to runoff
  • Initial loss during infiltration

💡 Hint: Focus on what φ relates to in terms of average performance.

Question 2

True or False: The W-index can calculate runoff even when initial losses are unknown.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the role of initial conditions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a rainfall of 200 mm and a direct runoff of 80 mm over 4 hours, calculate the φ-index, and discuss how accurate this representation is under different conditions.

💡 Hint: Focus on how rainfall duration impacts the infiltration capability.

Question 2

Provide a detailed plan for selecting between φ-index and W-index for a proposed urban drainage system, considering local conditions.

💡 Hint: Think about local land cover, vegetation, and recent rainfall history.
