Rain falls on a 0.05 mi² urban catchment with an intensity of 0.85 in/hr. for a duration of 3 hrs. The soil is classified as SCS hydrologic group C in the entire catchment. Land use within the catchment is as follows: 1) 20% area is business district 2) 40% area is residential district 3) 20% area is forest 4) 20% area is cropland Determine the total runoff volume in ft³.
