Consider there are two rain gauges (A and B) in a watershed with an area of 21.6 km2. The cumulative rainfall depths over time for a particular storm event at both rain gauge stations are given in the table below. The storm also produces a runoff hydrograph at the outlet of the watershed, shown in the last row of the table. Assume that the baseflow is 10 m3/s. It is known, by the Thiessen polygon, that the contributing areas for the rain gauges are identical Time (hr) Cumul.
