A catchment area is undergoing a prolonged rainless period. The discharge of the stream draining it is 4100 m3/min after ten days without rain, and 1200 m3/min after one month without rain. Find: a. The equation of depletion curve. b. Estimate the discharge after a period of four months, and a period of six months without rain. c. Draw depletion curve to scale
