Question: A catchment has 2 5 % Type B soil and 7 5 % Type C soil. The land cover is 5 0 % good condition

A catchment has 25% Type B soil and 75% Type C soil. The land cover is 50% good condition half wooded and half residential. Assuming a normal moisture conditions, determine the direct runoff from a storm of 140mm from this catchment. Assume the growing season. Use SCS-CN Method
