Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An engineer needs to design a rain garden with an expected infiltration rate of 5 mm/hr. If a storm provides an inch of rain (approximately 25.4 mm), how long will it take for the rain garden to absorb all the water?

💡 Hint: Convert rainfall depth to the same unit as the infiltration rate.

Question 2

A flood prediction model needs to incorporate a new land cover type that has a reduced infiltration rate. If the old rate was 10 mm/hr and the new rate is 7 mm/hr, describe the potential implications on flood risk.

💡 Hint: Higher runoff typically means higher flood risk in urban settings.
