Question
a) Describe with neat sketch the construction and use of a float-type of a recording gauge. (12)
b) The infiltration capacity of a soil in small water shed was found to be $6\text{ cm/hr}$ before a rainfall event. It was found to be $1.2\text{ cm/hr}$ at the end of $8\text{hr}$ of storm. If the total infiltration during the $8\text{hr}$ period of storm was $15\text{cm}$, Estimate the value of the decay coefficient $\text{K}_\text{h}$ in horton's infiltration capacity equation. (8)
