1.2 The watershed at a site on a stream has 77000 ha area. The mean annual precipitation at this place is 950 mm. (i) If 25% of rainfall reaches the basin outlet as stream flow, estimate the mean annual flow rate of the stream in m'/s. (ii) If watershed treatment, including afforestation, causes the runoff rate to reduce to 22%, what is the increase in the volume of abstraction from all causes for the same mean annual rainfall of 950 mm?

3. A 55.0 ML/d wastewater treatment plant discharges to a river system with a maximum spring flow of 149.5 m3/min and a minimum summer flow of 98.2 m3/min (upstream of the outfall from the plant). What total allowable BOD (mg/L) could be discharged by the plant if the BOD in the river after dilution must not exceed provincial standards, and there is already 1.1 mg/L of pollution in the river upstream?
The peak magnitude of 4 hr direct runoff hydrograph over a catchment area is 300 m3/s. The effective rainfall intensity is 1.2 cm/hr and infiltration loss during the same period is 0.4 cm. Find the peak value of the corresponding 4 hr unit hydrograph assuming uniform base flow of 20 m3/s.
Question- A peak flow of a flood hydrograph due to a 6 hour storm is 470 m³/s. The corresponding average depth of rainfall is 8 cm. Assume an Infiltration loss of 0.25 cm/hour and a constant base flow of 15 m³/s. What is the peak discharge of 6 hour unit hydrograph for this Catchment?
The town of Viracocha discharges 17,360 m³/day of treated wastewater into the Pachacamac Creek. The treated wastewater has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and a BOD decay constant, k, of 0.12/day at 10 °C. Pachacamac Creek has a flow rate of 0.43 m³/s and an ultimate BOD, Lo, of 5 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 1.0 mg/L. Compute the DO and the initial ultimate BOD, Lo, after mixing. Draw the Mass Balance Diagram.

The following table gives values of measured discharges at a stream gauging site in a year. Upstream of the gauging site, a weir built across the stream diverts 3.0 Mm³ and 0.50 Mm³ of water per month for irrigation and for use in an industry respectively. The return flows from the irrigation is estimated as 0.8 Mm³ and from the industry at 0.30 Mm³ reaching the stream upstream of the gauging site. Estimate the natural flow. If the catchment area is 180 km² and the average annual rainfall is 185 cm, determine the runoff-rainfall ratio.
