Think about how rain is retained in puddles.
Question 2.
What is a micro-relief feature?
Show hintHide hint
Remember examples like small hills or pits.
3Question 3.
What is the primary role of surface topography in relation to water storage?
- It has no effect on water storage.
- It influences the rate at which water runs off.
- It determines how much water can be stored in depressions.
- It only affects irrigation practices.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how uneven ground affects puddle formation.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider where you see water running off quickly.
Question 5.
Propose a land management strategy that increases depression storage in an urban area, and explain how it would work.
Show hintHide hint
Think about surfaces that can hold water differently.
Question 6.
Given a scenario in a rural agricultural area with a specific slope gradient, calculate the expected depression storage based on topographical features present.
Show hintHide hint
Refer to how features affect water placement on the land.
