The two correct answers that help hydrologists predict floods are:

1. **Impermeable land area** - This information is crucial because areas with impermeable surfaces, like concrete or asphalt, do not allow water to infiltrate into the ground, leading to increased surface runoff and higher flood risks.

2. **Snowpack** - Snowpack levels are important as they indicate potential runoff when the snow melts, especially in spring. Higher snowpack can lead to greater runoff and increase the risk of flooding.

Therefore, the correct answers are **impermeable land area** and **snowpack**.
