The data from an sohyetal map of a 24-hour storm is given below. Assuming that the storm centr
area of 25km, obtain the Depth-Area curve of this store. Using the depth-area curve, estimate th
depth of rainfall over an area of 2400sq.km. It can be assumed that the storm centre is located a
centre of the area.
