Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A study site has an initial infiltration rate of 20 mm/hr and a final rate of 5 mm/hr with a decay constant of 0.08. Calculate the infiltration rate after 5 hours using Horton's Equation.

💡 Hint: Remember to use the decay constant and exponentiate correctly.

Question 2

Analyze how changes in land use from agricultural to urban can affect the values of the ϕ-index and W-index in the context of runoff management.

💡 Hint: Think about the nature of the surfaces and the direction of water.
