Chapter 3 Quiz Horton Equation

• The Horton’s initial infiltration capacity for a

catchment is 204 mm/h and the constant infiltration
value at saturation is 60 mm/h. For a rainfall in excess
of 204 mm/h maintained at this rate for 50 minutes,
the infiltrated volume was observed to be 50.6 mm.
Determine the value of k in Horton’s equation.
