Q3: An infiltration capacity curve prepared for a catchment indicated an initial infiltration rate of 2.5 cm/hr and attains a constant value of 0.5 cm/hr after 10 hours of rainfall with the Horton’s constant k = 1 per week. What will be the infiltration rate after 5 hours of rainfall? What will be the Infiltration loss in first 5 hours? Determine the total Infiltration loss.?
Please provide an explanation for evry formula and solution. And be clear with your answer. In 1997, Upper Grand watershed near Maputi, Bukidnon with an area of 4350 sq.km received 77.7 cm of precipitation. The average rate of flow measured in the Grand River, which drained the watershed, was 39.6 cu.m/s. Infiltration was estimated to occur at an average rate of 9.2 x 10-7 cm/s. Evapotranspiration was estimated to be 45 cm/yr. What is the change in storage in the watershed in cm/yr. Also, calculate the runoff coefficient for this watershed.
A pump can lift water at a discharge of 0.15 m³/s to a head of 25 m. The critical cavitation number (o) for the pump is found to be 0.144. The pump is to be installed at a location where the barometric pressure is 9.8 m of water and the vapour pressure of water is 0.30 m of water. The intake pipe friction loss is 0.40 m. Using the minimum value of NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head), the maximum allowable elevation above the sump water surface at which the pump can be located is

A catchment soil has a Horton infiltration parameter: f0=240 mm/hr, fc=30 mm/hr and k=0.2 min^-1. Calculate the infiltration rate right after two hours. Assuming a rain of constant intensity of 50 mm/hr occurs and lasts fo 3 hours, calculate the amount of rain that infiltrates into the soil.
An intense rain is falling at a uniform rate of 7.5 cm/hour for a period of 60 minutes on a basin whose area is 500 hectares. If the average infiltration capacity during the entire rain period is assumed to be 1.5 cm/hr, the maximum run-off rate based on 10 minute peak percentage of 16% from distributing graph of the basin, is 60 cumecs 100 cumecs 80 cumecs O40 cumecs
