Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a rainfall event of 200 mm and an estimated Φ-index of 80 mm, calculate the runoff. Discuss the implications if this estimate is incorrect.

💡 Hint: Focus on the calculation first and then reason through consequences.

Challenge 2 Hard

During a rainfall event, the W-index starts at 50 mm and drops to 30 mm by the end. Discuss how continuous changes in the W'-index can affect water resource planning.

💡 Hint: Think about continuous data tracking and its effect on decisions.
