The infiltration rate at the beginning of a storm is 150 mm/h and decreases to a constant value of 15 mm/hr after 10 hours. If the total infiltration during the 15 h amounts to 290 mm and the rainfall is always in excess of the infiltration capacity, what is the value of the parameter of the empirical infiltration model given by Horton?
The infiltration capacity of a catchment is represented by Horton’s equation as f= 0.5+ 1.2e^-0.5t where f is in cm/hr and t is in hours. Assuming the infiltration to take place at capacity rates in a storm of 4 hours duration, estimate the average rate of infiltration for the duration of the storm.
