The time area method is often used to estimate catchment runoff process. In this method, the catchment of concern is split into several sub-areas where runoff generated from each sub-area is thought to take the same amount of time to travel to the outlet of the catchment. Suppose a catchment can be split into M sub-areas. For the i-th sub-area (i=1,2,…, M), the size of the area is Ai km2 and it takes i-th hours for the runoff generated to...
