Farm Tile Modeling

Hello, I need help modeling a 100 Acre farm that is tiled. The goal is to size a culvert, downstream, for a flood event. I'm stuck on how to model the farm area. Flow goes overland but also infiltrates into the tiles, which all routes to a ditch downstream, and to the culvert.

Thoughts-

Storage:
underground pipe volume

Outlets:
- Main tile outlets to ditch -device 1
- Tiles that feed into the main line - device 2 (feeds to 1)
- Infiltration (0.5in/hr) - device 3 (feeds to 2)
- How would I model the overland flow or separate that from the infiltration outlet?
