Question: 1 2 . ( 2 0 points ) The initial infiltration capacity of a watershed is ( 1 . 4 mathrm { in

12.(20 points) The initial infiltration capacity of a watershed is \(1.4\mathrm{in}/\mathrm{hr}\). The time constant is \(0.4\mathrm{hr}^{-1}\). The final infiltration capacity is \(0.2\mathrm{in}/\mathrm{hr}\). A watershed experiences a rainfall event, expressed in rainfall hyetograph as below.
a)(10 points) Use the Horton Infiltration method to calculate the excess rainfall hyetograph.
b)(10 points) Based on the excess rainfall estimated from Problem 12(a) and the \(1-\mathrm{hr}\) Unit Hydrograph in the table above, and with baseflow of 40 cfs , calculate the resulting storm hydrograph for the watershed.
