- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how these tools are analyzed to reflect water needs.
Question 5.
Given a range of inflow data across several months, create a mass curve and determine the required storage capacity based on hypothetical demand.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how inflow relates to demand over time.
Question 6.
Analyze a mass curve and describe potential issues that could arise if demand consistently exceeds supply, including possible solutions.
Show hintHide hint
Consider external factors that influence water availability.
