A catchment of area 1040 km² is divided into 9-hourly divisions by isochrones (lines of equal travel time) in the figure. The catchment is divided into sub-areas such that all surface runoff from each of these areas will arrive during a 1-hr period at the gauging point. The hourly areas are as follows: Hour 1 2 3 4 5 6. 7 8 Area (km?) 9 40 100 150 180 160

Question
A catchment of area 1040 km² is divided into 9-hourly divisions
by isochrones (lines of equal travel time) in the figure. The
catchment is divided into sub-areas such that all surface runoff
from each of these areas will arrive during a 1-hr period at the
gauging point. The hourly areas are as follows:
