Question: A 3 0 m i 2 catchment that is neither extremely wet nor dry receives a uniform 3 . 7 in of rainfall over 5

A 30mi2 catchment that is neither extremely wet nor dry receives a uniform
3.7 in of rainfall over 5 hours. The catchment is 30% forested, 30% meadow, 25% pasture or range (NOT contoured and good condition), and 15% paved roads (i.e., hard surface). The entire catchment is underlain by a shallow silty clay loam, classified as SCS Hydrologic Soil Group C. Calculate the composite (i.e., weighted) curve number.
