Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze a hypothetical small catchment with varying land uses. If urban areas yield a curve number of 90 and forested areas yield a curve number of 55, explain how these differences impact overall runoff estimations.
💡 Hint: Consider the characteristics of urban vs rural landscapes.
Choose three regions with different antecedent moisture conditions. Predict how their runoff responses would differ based on the SCS-CN method and explain why.
💡 Hint: Remember how soil moisture influences the runoff potential.
