A gage on a small (0.75-acre) urban parking lot recorded the following incremental rainfall data. Time (hr) 0 1 2 2.5 3 3.5 10 4.5 3 Rainfall (cm) 0 5 12 0.5 4.7 1.5 10 4 2.3 4.5 0 a. Determine the total storm rainfall depth (in inches). Be careful with units. b. If all of the rainfall occurs as runoff (no losses) and the time base of a triangular hydrograph is 3 hours, find the peak flow of the hydrograph in cfs. Be careful with units.
