  1. The rainfall on five successive days in a catchment were measured as 3, 8, 12, 6 and 2 cms. If the total runoff at the outlet from the catchment was 15 cm, the value of the findex (in mm/hour) is
    1. 0.0
    2. 1.04
    3. 1.53
    4. sufficient information not available
Correct Option: B


Windex =
P - R
t

=
(3 + 8 + 12 + 6 + 2) - 15
= 3.2 cm/d
5

φindex =
Pe - R
=
(8 + 12 + 6) - 15
te3

= 3.66 cm/d
= 1.53 mm/h
