Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a city experiencing heavy rainfall with an intensity of 80 mm/hr, while its soil has an infiltration capacity of 25 mm/hr. Calculate the runoff rate and discuss potential impacts on urban infrastructure.

💡 Hint: Subtract the infiltration capacity from the rainfall intensity to find the excess.

Question 2

Propose a comprehensive strategy for a community facing frequent urban flooding due to rainfall intensity that exceeds infiltration capacity. Include measures for both immediate response and long-term solutions.

💡 Hint: Consider the layers of mitigation: quick fixes vs. permanent changes.
