FINALS
HYDROLOGY - FLOODING
TEST 1
TRUE OR
FALSE
1. Flood
TEST isFALSE
an
overflow of
I. TRUE OR

water onto normally dry

land. The accumulation of
a normally dry area
caused by rising water in
an existing waterway,
such as a river, stream,
TEST I. TRUE OR FALSE

2. Fluvial Flooding is
cause by a surge from a
severe storm.
specific in the fact that
theI. cause
TEST is an excess of
TRUE OR FALSE

drainage in an urban
area. As there is little
open soil that can be
used for water storage
nearly all the
precipitation needs to be
4. Overland is a type of
TEST I. TRUE OR FALSE
flooding that can happen in
relatively uneven areas. Rain
water falling in an area is
normally stored in the ground,
in canals or lakes, or is
drained away, or pumped out.
When more rainwater enters a
water system than can be
stored, or can leave the
5. Flash Floods
TEST I. TRUE OR FALSE
may occur
within minutes or a few
hours after heavy
rainfall, tropical storm,
failure of dams or levees
or releases of ice dams.
And it causes the
greatest damages to
TEST I. TRUE OR FALSE

6. The Kerby-Linsley
method is used to solve
the time of concentration
for small watersheds
where overland flow is an
important component.
TEST I. TRUE OR FALSE

7. The value of Constant

for hilly areas is 10.2
using Dickens Formula.
TEST I. TRUE OR FALSE

8. The Inglis Formula uses

123.2 SQRT (A) for fan
shaped catchment
TEST I. TRUE OR FALSE
9. The empirical Formulae
used for estimation of the
flood peak are essentially
regional formulae based on
statistical correlation of
the theoretical peak and
important catchment
properties.
TEST I. TRUE OR FALSE

10. The maximum flood that

any structure can safely
pass is called the design
flood.
TEST 2
IDENTIFICA
TION
TEST II. IDENTIFICATION

1. Are standards for

construction of buildings
and other structures and,
if enforced, can reduce
damages to buildings in
flood-prone areas
TEST II. IDENTIFICATION
2. Zone regulation
includes activities that
are limited to water
levels corresponding to
100 years flood frequency
and drainage congestion
for 50 years rainfall
TEST II. IDENTIFICATION

3. A legal tool used by

governments to control
development in areas
which are or are likely
to become prone to
flooding
TEST II. IDENTIFICATION

4. Involves acquisition of
lands and the removal of
developments.
TEST II. IDENTIFICATION
5. Can cause flooding when
the city sewage system
and draining canals do
not have the necessary
capacity to drain away
the amounts of rain that
are falling.
