Everybody has given the correct answer, as there's really no way to put a reliable number on it. Also, the shorter time span for 1" of rain "should" give you more runoff. 1" of rain in 1 hour should give you more runoff than that same 1" in 6 hours.


Also depends on soil conditions with the drought like it in OK, KS, TX, and NE 1" inch of rain over 6 hours would most likely be soaked up by the soil. That is only .16" a hour.
