A 50-yr flood typhoon occurred in Metro Manila, started from 12:00AM of Dec 14 to 12:0OPM of Dec16. Knowing that the initial infiltration capacity of the soil in the area is 0.013m per hour, the time constant as 0.43 per hour, and the final capacity of soil for infiltration is 0.013mm per min. Use the Horton's equation in getting the infiltration capacity of soil in mm/hr at 12am of December 14.

A storm with constant rainfall intensity (i = 12 mm per hour, duration Tp = 6 hours) precipitates on a soil surface with an initial moisture deficit Δθ 0.32. The conductivity and the wetting front suction head of the soil are = 6 mm/hr and y =15 mm, respectively. = (1) If there is no surface ponding at the beginning of precipitation, please estimate the time it takes for water to pond on the surface (tp). (2) Estimate the cumulative infiltration depth (F) at the ponding time. (3) If rainfall intensity were much higher, and surface ponding occurred immediately as precipitation started, please estimate the time it took to infiltrate F = 4.8 mm, and the infiltration rate (f) at that time.
