Precipitation of 20cm was observed due to 24hr storm over a catchment area of 2 km. The initial infiltation capacity of the infiltration capacity curve was 0.5 cm/hr. After 15hrs, the infiltraion capacity attained a constant value of 0.1 cm/hr. Horton's constant k = 5hr'. The readings of the pan installed in the catchment showed a decrease of 0.5cm in the water level during 24hrs of its operation. Determine the runoff from the catchment Assume a pan coefficient of 0.7. All other losses were negligible.

8.16. Wastewater effluent is to be discharged through a diffuser 50 m long having 30 ports, each 0.125 m in diameter. The maximum flow rate will be 1 m³/s. The diffuser is set parallel to the beach because of an onshore current of 0.15 m/s. If the ocean floor slope is 1.5 percent, determine the length of the outfall necessary to provide a dilution factor of 200. Assume a wastewater density of 990 kg/m³ and a seawater density of 1020 kg/m³. (Courtesy of Jim Hunt.)
Suppose the parameters for Philip's equation are sorptivity, S = 15 cm/hr!/2 and K= 5cm/hr. A uniform rainfall causes ponding after 20 minutes. Determine the infiltration rate at time t=1 hr. Also compute the cumulative infiltration for the first hour of the rain.
instantaneous infiltration rate can be estimated by the equation, f= 0.5(a / +0.5) + b, where 'a' and 'b' are constants and 't' is the time elapsed from the beginning of the storm. find total infiltration during 10 hours if a=5 mm/hº.5 and b = 10 mm/h.
