2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does infiltration help determine for irrigation?
Think about how often and how much water crops need.
Name one structure designed for stormwater management.
These structures help in managing excess rainfall.
What is one application of infiltration data in engineering?
Think about agriculture and water use.
True or False: Infiltration data has no relevance to flood prediction.
Think about risk assessment during rain events.
An engineer needs to design a rain garden with an expected infiltration rate of 5 mm/hr. If a storm provides an inch of rain (approximately 25.4 mm), how long will it take for the rain garden to absorb all the water?
Convert rainfall depth to the same unit as the infiltration rate.
A flood prediction model needs to incorporate a new land cover type that has a reduced infiltration rate. If the old rate was 10 mm/hr and the new rate is 7 mm/hr, describe the potential implications on flood risk.
Higher runoff typically means higher flood risk in urban settings.
