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?

a storm of 3 hours duration has rainfall intensities of 30 mm/h for the first hour, 50 mm/h for the second hour, and 20 mm/h for the final hour. the initial infiltration rate, f0, and the terminal infiltration rate, fc, are 22 mm/h and 5 mm/h respectively. if the excess rain is equal to 70% of the total rain, calculate the value of the decay constant, k, in the hortons's model shown below:

IQ4// [A]: For a small drainage area, the infiltration rate at the start of rainfall storm was record to be 90 mm/hr and declined exponentially to a constant rate of 8 mm/hr after 2.5 hr. The total infiltration during 2.5 hr was 50 mm. Develop the Horton's equation for the infiltration rate at any time t<2.5 hr. [B]: Find the required discharge of irrigation water at the headwork of the distiriburatry, if the gross area is 20000 mishara, the irrigation intensity is 65%, and the water duty is 1600 hectare/m/sec.
An intense rain is falling at a uniform rate of 7.5 cm/hour for a period of 60 minutes on a basin whose area is 500 hectares. If the average infiltration capacity during the entire rain period is assumed to be 1.5 cm/hr, the maximum run-off rate based on 10 minute peak percentage of 16% from distributing graph of the basin, is 60 cumecs 100 cumecs 80 cumecs O40 cumecs
Show full solution.According to rainfall data collected by a laboratory during storm events, the precipitation level in inches (X) varies jointly with runoff in cubic feet per second (Y). The joint probability mass function (PMF) of both variables are given by the following Table: Y 1 2 3 10 0.05 0.15 0 20 0.1 0.25 0.25 30 0 0.1 0.1 a. Determine and plot the marginal PMF of runoff.b. Determine the correlation coefficient between X and Y.
During a storm, the rates of rainfall observed at a frequency of 15 min for one hour are 12.5, 17.5, 22.5 abd 7.5 cm/h. If the phi-index is 7.5 cm/h, then the total run-off will be 1. 22.50 2. 15.00 3. 30.00 4. 7.50
