Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a strategy for a reservoir facing severe sedimentation issues. What methods would you propose to manage sediment, and how would this affect capacity?
💡 Hint: Think about how these interventions would physically interact with the reservoir's environment.
Calculate the potential impact of reduced annual rainfall on a reservoir's yield. If a reservoir typically yields 2 million gallons per day but rainfall drops by 30%, how would you adjust operational strategies?
💡 Hint: Factor in the yield percentage reduction and the importance of these figures in strategizing.
