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.
