Use the kinematic wave model to compute the time of concentration, the maximum runoff rate, and the maximum water depth from an area 73.2 m (240 ft) long, 1 unit wide with a longitudinal slope of 2.0 percent, and a Manning "n" value of 0.25. The soil for the pervious area has been classified as silty clay loam [see Example 6.3(a)] with an initial abstraction of 12.7 mm (0.5 in.). The rainfall intensity (RI) in mm/hr (in./hr) is given by

where b = 127 for RI in mm/hr (5.0, RI in in./hr), d = 8.0, e = 0.0, and t is time in min­utes. Use a 1-hr duration rainfall with dt = 1.0 minute. Assume the area is 100 percent pervious.
