The infiltration capacity of a catchment is represented by Horton’s equation as f= 0.5+ 1.2e^-0.5t where f is in cm/hr and t is in hours. Assuming the infiltration to take place at capacity rates in a storm of 4 hours duration, estimate the average rate of infiltration for the duration of the storm.
The inital rate of infiltration of a watershed is estimated as 2.1 in/hr, the final capacity is 0.2 in/hr, and the time constant k, is 0.4 hr-1. Use Horton's Equation to find: A. The infiltration capacity is at t= 2.1 hr and t =6 hr; and B. The total volume of infiltration over the 6-hr period.
