Question: The table below lists rainfall data recorded at a USGS gage for a given storm. The watershed area is 2 0 5 0 acres. Using

The table below lists rainfall data recorded at a USGS gage for a given storm. The watershed area is
2050 acres. Using these data, develop a rainfall hyetograph in 15-min intervals and determine the time
period with the highest intensity rainfall. In addition, plot the cumulative mass curve for the rainfall.

20:502 Using the data provided in Problem 2, plot the storm hydrograph. What is the volume of infiltration loss
(in ac-ft) for this storm if evapotranspiration can be neglected? What is the runoff coefficient for this
storm? (Assume that 1 cfs-hr ~ 1 ac-in
