Peak Flow Calculations

The document contains rainfall and runoff data for various areas over multiple years. It calculates the peak runoff flow for several areas using the Rational Method formula of Q=CIA/3.6, where Q is the peak flow, C is the runoff coefficient, I is the average rainfall intensity, and A is the area. It determines the peak flow for a concrete area to be 0.417461 m^3/s, an inner area to be 1.097654 m^3/s, an electric fence area to be 0.340065 m^3/s, and a second electric fence area to be 0.353422 m^3/s. The total peak flow across all areas
