What does Discharge measure according to FEMA 480?

Soil erosion levels
Building elevation levels
The volume of water passing a point over time
The legal acquisition of property for public use

The correct answer is: The volume of water passing a point over time

According to FEMA 480, discharge measures the volume of water passing a point over time. This is incorrect because discharge actually measures the volume of water passing a point over time, not soil erosion levels, building elevation levels, or the legal acquisition of property for public use. Soil erosion levels refer to the amount of soil particles being removed by wind, water, or other natural forces. Building elevation levels are the height or altitude of a building above a reference point, and the legal acquisition of property for public use involves the government obtaining land from private owners for public purposes.
