Assuming surface on which rainfalls is thickly built residential district as follows :  

% of total surface
Types of surfaceImpermeability
48Roofs and pavements0.85
22Lawns and gardens0.2
30Ground surface0.1

Calculate average impermeability factor. If total area draining to sewer is `6` hectares and maximum intensity of rainfall is `55` mm/hr. Estimate runoff from area.[TU 2006] 

Solution:

Average Impermeability factor is,

`C=(0.85**0.48+0.2**0.22+0.1**0.3)`

`=0.482`

Now, the runoff from the area is,

`Q=(CiA)/360`

`=(0.482**55**6)/360`

`=0.442 \ m^3/s`
