The following table gives values of measured discharges at a stream gauging site in a year. Upstream of the gauging site a weir built across the stream diverts 4.0 Mm^3 and 1.5 Mm^3 of water per month for irrigation and for use in an industry respectively. The return flows from the irrigation is estimated as 0.50 Mm^3 and from the industry at 0.40 Mm3 reaching the stream upstream of the gauging site. Estimate the natural flow. If the catchment area is 200 km^2 and the average annual rainfall is 200 cm, determine the runoff-rainfall ratio
