Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a rainfall event with an initial loss of 10 mm and an average infiltration rate (W-Index) of 15 mm/hour, calculate how long it will take before runoff begins if the rainfall rate is 30 mm/hour.
💡 Hint: Use the effective rainfall to find how long it takes to exceed the infiltration rate.
Question 2
Examine a scenario in which the W-Index for a specific area is forecasted to decrease due to urban development. Discuss potential impacts on local water management practices.
💡 Hint: Consider how urbanization impacts soil and impervious surfaces.
