A reservoir is to be constructed with the following characteristics: Mean Annual Runoff, MAR =50mm Catchment Area = 286km2 Coefficient of Variation CV= 110% Full Supply Capacity FSC = 8x 106m3 What is the probability that the reservoir will fill to full capacity from empty in one year assuming that the runoff data follows the Weibull distribution function? P(X-x) = 1-e^(aX/x)b
It is proposed to adopt the dilution method of stream gauging for a river whose hydraulic properties at average flow are as follows: width = 45 m, depth = 2.0 m, discharge = 85 m³/s, Chezy coefficient = 20 to 30. Determine the safe mixing length that has to be adopted for this stream.
The annual peak flow data were recorded between 1980 and 2021 at a particular section of a river. Annual peak flows have been transformed into log values and the following statistics are obtained. Mean of log transformed peak annual flows = 3.525 Standard deviation of log transformed peak annual flows = 0.178 Skewness of log transformed peak annual flows = -0.235 a. Estimate the 2% AEP peak discharge by assuming that the annual peak flow data follows Log-Pearson type III distribution. b. Estimate the 2% AEP peak discharge by assuming the peak flow data are lognormally distributed. c. Compare the peak discharge obtained from two methods (l.e. Log-Pearson type III distribution and Lognormal distribution).

Compute the 4-hr Snyder's synthetic unit hydrograph for a watershed with an area of 27.8 square miles and a main channel length of 16.3 miles. The main channel length from the outlet to the point opposite the centroid of the watershed is 5.4 miles. The regional parameters are C₁ = 1.7 and C₂ = 0.5. Plot the resulting hydrograph and label the lagged time to peak (tr), time to peak (TDR). peak discharge (Q₂R), and time base (T₁). (similar to 8.4.4)
Compute the diameter (cm) of the outfall required to drain storm water from the watershed described in figure below. Use rainfall intensity = 4 cm/hr. Average velocity of flow is 1 m/s. Other data are for: Area 1: C=0.5, area=0.005 km2. Area 2: C=0.4, area =0.01 km2. Area 3: C=0.7, area=0.015 km2.
6. Runoff from a 200 mile² catchment drains into a reservoir than has an average surface area of 4000 acres. The reservoir is to be used for municipal water supply. Annual rainfall over the watershed is 40 inches and the annual runoff is 2 inches. Evaporation from the reservoir averages 40 inches per year. If the surface area of the reservoir is roughly constant with depth, how much will the reservoir depth change in one year?
Q.2 A catchment having an area of 150 km2 has the ø index 0.3 cm/hr. The base flow at the 3 outlet is 10m³/s. One hour unit hydrograph of the catchment area is triangular in shape with a time base of 20 hours. The peak ordinate occurs at 8 hours. If a rainfall of 4.5 cm occurs in 1 hour, then the peak ordinate of the flood hydrograph will be:
