The Horton's infiltration equation for a basin is given by f= 6 + 16e-2t, where 'f' is in mm/hr and tis in hours. What are the values of fo, fe and k? If a storm occurs on this basin with an intensity of more than 22 mm/hr, determine the depth of infiltration for first 45 minutes and the average infiltration rate for the first 75 minutes?
