(i) Calculate the ordinates of the direct runoff hydrograph due to a rainfall excess of six (-hr
consecutive storms); 3.5, 2.5, 1.5 cm.
(ii) Estimate the peak discharge for this event.
(iii) Determine the total storm rainfall on this catchment if the catchment area is 20000
hectares and O-index is 1.0 cm/hr.
