Answer to Question 1

Precipitation can soak into the ground or flow on the surface. If the precipitation infiltrates the ground it can be taken up by plants, evaporate as soil moisture, or become ground water. If the water flows on the surface, it will eventually enter a stream.

Answer to Question 2

Date of flood: 5/28/1984
Discharge: 9500 cfs
Rank in the entire flood record: 9
R = (58+1)/9 = 6.5
