Question: Problem 3 . ( 1 5 points ) Assume the following watershed and precipitation characteristics: Two hour rainfall event ( main part of growing season

Problem 3.(15 points) Assume the following watershed and precipitation characteristics:
Two hour rainfall event (main part of growing season) steadily delivering 1.5 cm in the first
hour, and then steadily delivering 4 cm in the second hour
Cotton (row crop) farmed on contour in poor condition
The slope is 2% with slope length 100 m
The soils are sandy clay loam with 0.5% organic matter in hydrologic group C
AMCII
Watershed area is 20 hectares
Use the CN approach to estimate the:
