Which of the following features is typically part of a drainage system on a campus?
Retaining walls
Stormwater inlets or grates
Streetlights
Playground equipment
What tool would you use to measure the slope of the terrain on campus to assess water flow direction?
Total Station
Soil probe
Water quality tester
Compass
Which areas of the campus are likely to produce the most stormwater runoff?
Sports fields with grass
Parking lots and paved walkways
Forested areas
Garden beds with shrubs and plants
Why is it important to identify and monitor stormwater outfalls during the campus survey?
To ensure rainwater reaches the nearest river

What is the purpose of a detention basin on a campus?
To permanently store rainwater
To temporarily hold and slowly release stormwater to prevent flooding
To channel water directly into underground pipes
To increase groundwater recharge
How can you determine if a drainage grate is clogged during your survey?
By measuring the depth of water near the grate
By visually inspecting the grate for debris like leaves or litter blocking water flow
By checking the weather report
By testing the water quality near the grate
Which landscape feature helps to naturally absorb rainwater and reduce runoff on campus?
Paved pathways
Lawns and vegetated areas
Rooftops
Sports courts
Why is it important to evaluate the slope of walkways and parking lots during a drainage survey?
To determine the location of the drainage grates
To assess how quickly water will accumulate and run off the surface during rainfall
To check for water quality
To decide where to plant trees
What is the main consequence of inadequate drainage systems on campus during heavy rainfall?
Improved plant growth
Increased risk of flooding and water damage to buildings
Better water quality in campus streams
More recreational spaces for students
