Consider a region with a total area of 50 km². If the maximum point rainfall (P₀) is 80 mm and the decay constant (k) is 0.05, calculate the average precipitation using the empirical formula.
💡 Hint: Make sure to apply the decay formula correctly with the given values.
Discuss the impact of using an incorrect decay constant in flood estimation in the context of DAD relations.
💡 Hint: Think about how a higher or lower value of k might affect rainfall predictions.
