b) The ordinates of 10-minute unit hydrograph for a catchment is given below in Table 3. Estimate the area of the catchment (express your answer to the nearest hectare where 1 ha = 100m x 100m). Construct a direct runoff hydrograph resulting from the following rainfall excess event (Table 4) and hence determine the peak discharge and time to peak?
