Show hintHide hint
What happens to rain that can't soak into concrete?
3Question 3.
What is surface runoff?
- Water that sinks into the ground
- Water flowing over land due to excess rainfall
- Water stored in the soil

4Question 4.
True or False: Interflow contributes immediately to streamflow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how water moves through soil layers.
Question 5.
Evaluate how urbanization affects basin yield and runoff characteristics. Provide examples and possible measures to mitigate the impact.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how a city changes natural landscapes.
Question 6.
Given a basin with varied soil types, how would you approach estimating runoff for each type using the SCS-CN method?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, different soil types have different infiltration capacities.
