Compute the runoff from 5 inches of rainfall on a 1000-acre watershed. The hydrologic soil group is 50 percent Group B and 50 percent Group C interspersed throughout the watershed. Antecedent moisture condition II is assumed. The land use is given below followed by the reference table for Runoff CNs.

40 % residential area that is 30 % impervious
12% residential area that is 65 % impervious
18% paved roads with curbs and storm sewers
16 % open land with 50 % fair grass cover and 50 % good grass cover
14 % parking lots, plazas, schools, etc. (all impervious)
