Horton's equation represents infiltration capacity in a basin as fp = 3.0 + e-2t, where fp is infiltration capacity in cm/hr and t is time in hours. The student is asked to estimate the depth of infiltration during a 60 minute storm in the first 30 minutes and the second 30 minutes using this equation.

The infiltration capacity in a basin is represented by Horton’s equation as 𝑓𝑝 = 3.0 + 𝑒 −2𝑡
where 𝑓𝑝 and t are in cm/hr and hours, respectively. Assume that the infiltration take place during a storm of 60 minutes duration, estimate the depth of infiltration in (i) the first 30 minutes (ii) the second 30 minutes of storm
