A catchment soil has a Horton infiltration parameter: f0=240 mm/hr, fc=30 mm/hr and k=0.2 min^-1. Calculate the infiltration rate right after two hours. Assuming a rain of constant intensity of 50 mm/hr occurs and lasts fo 3 hours, calculate the amount of rain that infiltrates into the soil.

What is the average infiltration rate for the area. b. A volume of 3x106 m3 of groundwater was pumped out from unconfined aquifer uniformly over an area of 5 km2. The pumping lowered the water table from 102 to 99m. The specific yield of the aquifer is?

The design filtration rate is 6 m/d at max daily flow
Which surface is likely to have the highest value of runoff detention storage? Group of answer choices a) A steeply sloped concrete parking lot b) A pitched roof c) A flat roof d) A glass tabletop
During a two-hour storm the precipitation over a 100-acre area is 1.2 in. There is a constant infiltration at a rate of 0.4 in./hour. The depression storage is 20 acre-ft. Is there any runoff? If yes, how much? Disregard evaporation during the storm.
A catchment has a size of 100 km2 . In its original condition, the average annual total runoff from the catchment is 1.0m3/s . The average annual rainfall is 800 mm/a . In an average year, 50% of the rainfall infiltrates and only 10% of the rainfall reaches the groundwater . Capillary rise is negligble. a . How much is the evapotranspiration in an average year(neglect the effect of storage)? b . How much water seeps out from the groundwater to the surface water in an average year if you assume that over a year there is no change in storage in the groundwater? c .How much water in mm/s,is used by the vegetation(evaporation from bare soil can be neglected)?
An infiltration capacity curve has the following parameters: fc, the equilibrium infiltration capacity is 17 mm/hr; fo, the initial infiltration is 123 mm/hr; k, the rate constant is 0.4 hr-1; Two rainstorms pass over identical basins of area 80 km2 with the above characteristics. The first storm has a continuous rainfall of 50 mm/hr for 6 hours. The second storm has a rainfall of 75mm/hr for 1 hour, followed by 25 mm/hr for 1hour, followed by 75 mm/hr for 1hour, followed by 25 mm/hr for 1 hour, followed by 75 mm/hr for 1hour, followed by 25 mm/hr for 1 hour also for a total of six hours. Calculate the volume of infiltrated water (in m3) over the first hour, over the first four hours, and over the total six hours. Do so for each of the storms. Comment and try to explain any similarity or difference in the answers for the two storms.
What happens to actual rate of infiltration if rainfall intensity is less than the infiltration capacity?
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?
For a small drainage area, the infiltration rate at the start of rainfall storm was record to be 90 mm/hr and decreased exponentially to a constant rate of 8 mm/hr after 2.5 hr. The total infiltration during 2.5 hr was 50 mm. Develop the Horton's equation for the infiltration rate at any time t < 2.5 hr
Compare/contrast the following quantities from each other:rainfall rate and infiltration capacityrainfall rate and infiltration rateinfiltration capacity and infiltration rate
