**Rainfall Runoff Calculation**One UOW student monitored 12 mm of rainfall in one-hour duration. He noticed the initial loss of rainfall from a car park is 1 mm. How much runoff was generated from the 2 km² campus in this storm, if the continuous loss is 1 mm/hour?\[ V = \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{m}^3 \]**Explanation:**To calculate the runoff generated from the campus, consider the following:1. **Rainfall amount**: 12 mm2. **Initial loss**: 1 mm3. **Continuous loss**: 1 mm/hourThe total effective rainfall that contributes to runoff can be calculated by subtracting the losses from the total rainfall.Firstly, the effective rainfall is:\[ 12 \, \text{mm} - 1 \, \text{mm} (\text{initial loss}) = 11 \, \text{mm} \]However, because the continuous loss is 1 mm/hour, we subtract that from the effective rainfall for the one-hour period:\[ 11 \, \text{mm} - 1 \, \text{mm} (\text{continuous loss}) = 10 \, \text{mm} \]To find the volume of runoff, we convert the effective rainfall to meters and multiply by the area of the campus:\- Convert 10 mm to meters:\[ 10 \, \text{mm} = 0.01 \, \text{m} \]\- Area of the campus:\[ 2 \, \text{km}^2 = 2 \times 10^6 \, \text{m}^2 \]Runoff volume:\[ V = \text{effective rainfall} \times \text{area} \]\[ V = 0.01 \, \text{m} \times 2 \times 10^6 \, \text{m}^2 \]\[ V = 20,000 \, \text{m}^3 \]Therefore, the runoff generated from the 2 km² campus is:\[ V = 20,000 \, \text{m}^3 \]
