Unit 2 Quantitative Assignment

During our Core Friday last week, we discussed about the quantitative assignment #2. Tomas Hothem spent the whole time reading over the PDF files of the quantitative assignment #2. However, having Tomas Hothem go over the calculations of the assignment made it easier for me to do my part in my group. In my group, we all assign each other a role to participate in this group assignment. I had to do the calculation for the reservoir storage, groundwater storage, and snowpack storage. Not only did I have a role to do those calculations, I helped my groupmates calculating their numbers with my numbers.
