For a watershed comprising of (8000) hectares in area, the rainfalland runoff data are summarized below in the table. The maximum runoff rate wasrecorded as 4.82 m3/s at hour 9 on the second day. Compute;a) 6-hr unit hydrograph,b) 12-hr unit hydrograph,c) A runoff hydrograph for the complex rain sequence as: 6-hr rainfall with rainfallintensity of 2mm/hr, followed by 6-hr rainfall with rainfall intensity of 7mm/hr, andthe last 6-hr rainfall with rainfall intensity of 11 mm/hr, andd) Determine the maximum runoff...
The Muskingum method of flood routing has been chosen to forecast the movement ofa flood wave from a point 30 km upstream of a center of population. Engineers havepreviously estimated the Muskingum K and X parameters for this reach to be 10 hoursand 0.15 respectively.If the upstream flood was measured every 6 hours starting at 09:00 hours and the flowswere recorded as 25, 35, 50, 80, 140, 130, 90, 80, 50, 30 and 25 m3/s for the first 60hours and...

4-23. Determine the unit hydrograph ordinates for the Isosceles River with the stream flow data shown in Figure P-4-23 on page 192. The basin area is 14.40 km', and the unit duration of the storm is 1 hour. For ease of com- putation, locate ordinates at hourly intervals, that is, 1500, 1600, and 1700 hours. Note that the time is military time; that is, 1500 h 3 PM, 2000 h 8 PM, etc.
3. The stream flow given in the following table was produced by a 1-cm rainfall event (total depth). The effective portion of the rainfall lasted 1 hr (from time 9 to time 10). If the watershed is 20 square kilometers, derive a 1-hr unit hydrograph for the watershed. Assume the groundwater contribution is linear from 1.4 m/sec (at time 9) to 3.0 m/sec (at time 17).
