Activity 1
Part A
Calculate the Rainfall Excess (in mm) and the losses (both in mm and as a percentage
of rainfall) for the storm shown in the table over the page. The catchment area
contributing runoff to the stream gauge is 107 ha.
Part B
Draw the catchment area boundary on the contour map shown on page 3. The outlet
to the catchment is located at the cross marked on the main stream.
Part C
Part D
Determine the recession co-efficient of the soil on which test was conducted.
