Question
River Ewaso Ngiro is to he the sole source of water and therefore the desion basis is the "safe" yield. The Water Resource Authority has set the allowable withdrawal at 5% of the mean monthly flow rate since there must be enough water left for the ecological health of the river or stream as well as for downstream users. Given a 22 year data on the river flow for each month, perform the complete series analysis and deternine whether the river can be able to support the immediate water needs of the Green Isinya Community.
Given a population growth of 3% p.a., how long will the river provide adeqaute water supply for the community.
b.) in continuing the evaluation of the river Ewaso Ngiro as a water supply system for New Isinya Green Surb-urban community above perform an annual minima extreme value analysis on the data in table 4. Determine the recurrence interval of monthly flows that fails to meet an average demand of 0.32 m3/s. Also determine the discharge of the mean monthly annual flow
