The rainfall on five successive days were measured as 100 mm, 80 mm, 60 mm, 40 mm and 20 mm respectively. If the infiltration index or the storm loss rate for the catchment area is earlier estimated as 50 mm/day, the total surface run off will be
A. 50 mm
B. 60 mm
C. 90 mm
D. 140 mm
Answer: Option C
This Question Belongs to Civil Engineering >> Irrigation Engineering
D1 = 100-50 = 50
D2 = 80-50 = 30
D3 = 60-50 = 10
D4 & D5 less than 50 so nothing left
Total surface runoff = 50 + 30 + 10 = 90mm
