1. Infiltration rate for a drainage basin is given by Horton's 6. The mass curve of an isolated storm over a watershed
exponential model f(t) = fc + (fo – fc)e–kt, where f(t) is in is given below:
mm/hour and t in hours. If the initial infiltration capacity
was 10 mm/hours and ultimate capacity was 1.2 Time from Start (hrs) Cumulative rainfall (cm)
mm/hour and a total of 3.3 cm of water infiltered during 0 0
10 hours interval. Assuming steady state to be attained 0.5 0.25
within 10 hour of rain, the value of Horton's constant k 1.0 0.50
would be _____/hr 1.5 1.10
2.0 1.60
2. A 24-hour storm occurred over a catchment of 1.8 km2 2.5 2.60
area and the total rainfall observed was 10 cm. An 3.0 3.50
infiltration capacity curve prepared had the initial 3.5 5.70
infiltration capacity of 1 cm/hr and attained a constant 4.0 6.50
value of 0.3 cm/hr after 15 hours of rainfall with a 4.5 7.30
5.0 7.70
Horton’s constant k = 5/hr. An IMD pan installed in the
catchment indicated a decrease of 0.6 cm in the water
If the storm produced a direct runoff of 3.5 cm at the
level (after allowing for rainfall) during 24 hours of its
outlet of the watershed, estimate the -index (cm/hr).
operation. Other losses were found to be negligible.
Determine the runoff volume from the catchment.
Assume a pan coefficient of 0.7. 7. The rainfall during three successive 2 hour periods are
0.5, 2.8 and 1.6cm. The surface runoff resulting from
3. In a 140 min storm the following rates of rainfall were this storm is 3.2cm. The -index value of this storm is
observed in successive 20-min intervals 6, 6, 18, 13, 2,
2, and 12 mm/hour. Assuming  -index to be 3 mm/hour, (a) 0.20cm/hr (b) 0.28cm/hr
(c) 0.30cm/hr (d) 0.80cm/hr
the value of rainfall excess would be ____mm.

4. Hourly rainfalls of 2.5 cm and 6 cm occur over a 20-ha 8. The rainfall on five successive days in a catchment were
area consisting of 4 ha area with  = 5 cm/hr, 10 ha area measured as 3, 8,12,6 and 2 cm. If the total runoff at the

 = 1 cm/hour. Derive hourly value of net rain. outlet from the catchment was 15 cm, the value of the -
index (in mm/hour) is
5. Seven-hour storm produced the following rainfall (a) 0.0
intensities (in mm/hr) at half an hour-intervals over a
basin of area 1830 km² are 4, 9, 20, 18, 13, 11, 12, 2, 8, (b) 1.04
16, 17, 13, 6 & 1. If the corresponding observed runoff (c) 1.53
is 36.6 Mm³, the estimated -index for the storm would
be ______ mm/hr. (d) Sufficient information not available
