Question 3

Question 5

A Catchment of area 250ha received rainfall of 10.5 cm in 120min due to a storm. At the outlet of the catchment, the runoff lasted for about 15hr with an average discharge of 2.20 cumec/sec. what is the amount of water which was not available for runoff due to the combined effect of infiltration, evaporation and transpiration? (in m3 )

Question 6

The rainfall on six successive days on a catchment was 6.5, 2.35, 4, 9.8, 7.2 and 2.67 cm. If the - index value for the storm can be assumed to be 3.78 cm/day. The total direct runoff (mm)from catchment is
