Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze a watershed region where interception accounts for a significant percentage of annual precipitation. How would this affect flood control measures?
💡 Hint: Consider how different types of vegetation can change the dynamics of water flow.
Calculate the expected runoff for a region with known interception values. Given 100mm of rainfall, if interception loss is 20%, what is the expected runoff?
💡 Hint: Use the formula: Runoff = Rainfall - (Rainfall x Interception Percentage).
