Intensity (mm/h) 58 23
Duration (h) 1 2

Problem 2-1

Fit a Horton infiltration formula to the following measurements:

Time (h) f (mm/h)
1 2
3 1
0.8

Problem 2-3

The following rainfall distribution was measured during a 12-h storm:

Time (h) 0-2 2-4 4-6 6-8 8-10 10-12
Rainfall Intensity (cm/h) 1.0 2.0 3.0 5.0 2.0 1.0

Runoff depth was 10 cm. Calculate the φ-index for this storm.
