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:
A lake had a water surface elevation of 110.00m above datum at the beginning of a certain month. In that month, the lake received an average flow of 66.0m3 /s from surface runoff sources. In the same period the outflow from the lake had an average value of 66.5m3 /s. Further, in that month, the lake received a rainfall of 150mm and the evaporation from the lake surface was estimated as 7.40cm. Write the water budget equation for the lake and calculate the water surface elevation of the lake at the end of the month. The average lake surface area can be taken as 5000ha.

A reservoir had a water surface elevation of 110 m above the datum at the beginning of the month. In the same month, the reservoir received an average inflow of 7.5 cms (m3/s) from surface runoff sources. For the same period, the outflow from the reservoir had an average value of 5 cms. Further, in the same month, the reservoir received a rainfall of 180 mm and losses due to evaporation of 5 cm. Assume the area of the lake is 50 km2 acres and assume no contribution from groundwater storage. What is the water surface elevation of the reservoir after the month?
