Question

Transcribed Image Text:During a 3 h storm event, it was observed that all
abstractions other than infiltration are negligible.
The rainfall was idealized as three 1 h storms of
intensities 10 mm/h. 20mm/h and 10 mm/h
respectively and the infiltration was idealized as
a Horton curve, f = 6.8 +8.7 exp (-t) (f is in mm/
h and t is in h). What is the effective rainfall?
