Rain Control Test

Last week, 3 tests were preformed, 2 pressure and 1 rain test. Unfortunately measurement errors made during the pressure tests that made the data unusable. The rain test data, however, was viable. The test preformed without pressure or an upper shelf on the slope. The rate of rain was 1.5 inches per hour and the slope was subjected to the rain simulation for 30 minutes. Measurements showed that that the angle of the left slope decreased by 8.8% and the right side angle of the slope by 9.4%. Qualitative investigation showed that there was erosion, but on very small, and near impossible to measure scale. This team has the ability to perform a test that will simulate approximately 6.5 inch/hour rain. this simulation may be subjected to the slope.
