The hyetograph of a storm event of duration 140 minutes is shown in the figure.
The infiltration capacity at the start of this event (t = 0) is 17 mm/hour, which linearly decreases to 10 mm/hour after 40 minutes duration. As the event progresses, the infiltration rate further drops down linearly to attain a value of 4 mm/hour at t = 100 minutes and remains constant thereafter till the end of the storm event. The value of the infiltration index, φ (in mm/hour, round off to 2 decimal places), is _______.

Correct : 7.00 to 7.30
