Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A scientist measures gross precipitation at 400 mm, with 150 mm as throughfall and 50 mm as stemflow. What is the interception loss?
💡 Hint: Apply the interception loss formula.
Question 2
In a study, researchers found that a region has a dense forest canopy with Pg at 500 mm, Tf at 250 mm, and Sf at 70 mm. Calculate the interception loss and discuss its implications for soil moisture.
💡 Hint: Use the interception formula to find the value and consider how this impacts hydrology.
