Q3: An infiltration capacity curve prepared for a catchment indicated an initial infiltration rate of 2.5 cm/hr and attains a constant value of 0.5 cm/hr after 10 hours of rainfall with the Horton’s constant k = 1 per week. What will be the infiltration rate after 5 hours of rainfall? What will be the Infiltration loss in first 5 hours? Determine the total Infiltration loss.
