PROBLEM 2: Based on the given RIDF data, the relationship of the rainfall intensity and the time can be described using the general equation A. Determine the design peak flow for a 25-year return period flood, for an urban catchment that has an area of 0.75 sq. km. The slope of the catchment is 0.006 and the maximum length of flow is 900 meters. Assume runoff coefficient of 0.40.

Use the Clark unit hydrograph procedure to compute and plot the 3-hr unit hydrograph for a watershed that has an area of 1,100 km^2 and a time of concentration of 5 hr. The Clark storage coefficient is estimated to be 4 hr. Use a 1-hr time interval for the computations and apply the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers synthetic time-area relationship. Extend the unit hydrograph to t = 25 hr to capture the recession limb.
A watershed has a system of three rainfall gauges as shown on the map below. The total storm rainfall depths is: A = 74 mm, B = 67 mm and C = 82 mm. Determine the spatial average rainfall for the network of rainfall gauges using Arithmetic Average and Thiessen Polygon methods. LOkm
The 60-year record shows that the annual maximum discharges for a river have a mean of 30,000 cfs, a standard deviation of 28,000 cfs, and a skewness coefficient of 3.15. If the annual maximum discharge can be described by the Extreme-value Type I distribution, what is the probability that the annual maximum discharge exceeds 100,000 cfs at least once in next 10 years? (Note: The sample size is 60. Conduct interpolation using exceedance probabilities or cumulative probabilities.)

QI. (a) Describe the Rational' method of designing surface water drainage systems. Define fully any terms used in the description. Discuss the assumptions made in applying the rational method, and comment upon the procedure used to predict the peak flow for a given return period. (b) At the beginning of the month of June, water level of a reservoir with surface area of 7km? was at 20m (Refer to reservoir characteristic curve in Figure Qla). Average longterm monthly rainfall for the month of June recorded at five raingages is summarized in Table Q1 (assuming the same average amount of rainfall is also recorded in the reservoir). The inflow to the reservoir X, located at the downstream catchment outfall, resulted from that rainfall can be estimated as Qin = 0.65PA where P is mean areal rainfall (to be estimated by Thiessen Polygon) from a 36km? catchment area A, schematically shown in Figure lb. An average monthly withdrawal of 6MCM from the reservoir is required for water supply…
