Total Infiltration by Horton's Equation

Problem

To calculate the total infiltration and total runoff for a certain catchment

Given,

Initial Infiltration Capacity(Fi),Final Infiltration Capacity(Ff),Horton's Constant,Time(T)

Solution

Calculate Total Infiltration.Then assume the evaporation loss as some constant.Subtract both of them from Precipitation to get the Runoff.

Methodology

1.Visit "Total Infiltration by Horton's Equation" Calculator

2.Put the given Initial Infiltration Capacity(Fi),Final Infiltration Capacity(Ff),Horton's Constant,Time(T)

3.Click Calculate.

k is often given in per day.You must convert it to per hour if the time period and Fi,Ff is given in hours.

Calculator is based on the integration of Horton's Equation
