Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What does the interception loss formula I = P × C represent?

  • Loss of soil moisture
  • Amount of rainfall intercepted
  • Total rainfall

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to the rain before reaching the ground.

Question 2

True or False: The Gash model focuses mainly on vegetation type.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall what we said about model definitions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a region experiences 200mm of rainfall, and you measure an interception loss of 50mm, what does this imply about the interception coefficient if you assume only this measurement?

💡 Hint: Think about the rearrangement of the formula we learned!

Question 2

Calculate the interception loss for a region of 80% dense forest (C=0.30) and 20% grassland (C=0.05) from a total precipitation of 150mm.

💡 Hint: Combine the effects of both vegetation types using their respective coefficients.
