where:<br />

E T<br />

= Sum <strong>of</strong> the ten (10) highest incremental rainfall excess values.<br />

T = Total time associated with E T , in hours.<br />

g. Compute T c and R for subbasin S2, using the relation from Step 3c above to compute<br />

T c , and Equation (5.8) to compute R.<br />

T c = 0.86i – 0.38 = 0.86( 1.27 – 0.38 ) = 0.786 hours<br />

R = 0.37T c A<br />

0.377 hours<br />

Using the above procedure, T c and R for each <strong>of</strong> the Clark subbasins are as follows:<br />

Subbasin ID T c hours R hours<br />

S2 0.786 0.377<br />

S3 0.489 0.252<br />

S4 0.467 0.259<br />
