The local 10-year IDF curve is linear with the equation I = 5.6 − 0.2D, where I is rain intensity in in./hr and D is the rain duration in hours. Use the rational method to determine the peak 10-year flow rate for the watershed. Compare this with the unit hydrograph estimate of the 10-year peak (ϕ = 1.0 in./hr). Use tc as the time from the cessation of rain to the cessation of runoff.
