Concepts of Flood Control

Flooding is a temporary overflow of water that submerges or covers the the usually dry land. It can also be defined as the overflow of the excess amount of water that covers a huge area of land which is normally dry.

Question

A total of 200 mm of rain fell on a 100-hectare watershed in 5 hours. What was the
average rainfall intensity? What was the total volume of water that fell on the watershed
in that time interval (in cubic meters)?
