Question

TRUE OR FALSE

If the statement is false, make minor changes to the statement so that the statement is true.

Interception losses from forested watersheds have more of an effect on large floods than on annual water yields from a watershed. In an unsaturated soil, water potential gradients that govern the direction of water flow are largely the result of matric potential gradients. The capacity of a river to pick up and transport solid particles is directly related to the speed of the current. A composite curve number is defined as an areal weighted average of the curve numbers for the watershed subregions. A surface which allows water to pass through it is permeable.

Explanation / Answer

1) False. The correct statement is " Interception losses from forested watersheds have less effect on large floods than on annual water yields from a watershed.

2) True. In an unsaturated soil, the water potential gradients in the form of matric potential gradients like surface tension and capillary rise.

3.True.

4. True. The average percent impervious areas will give the composite CN.

5. True.
