7.9 A rectangular parking lot is 150 m wide and 300 m long. The time of overland flow across the pavement to the longitudinal gutter along the centre is 20 minutes and the estimated total time of concentration to the downstream end of the gutter is 25 minutes. The coefficient of runoff is 0.92. If a rainfall of intensity 6 cm/h falls on the lot for 10 minutes and stops abruptly determine the peak rate of flow.

A catchment consists of an asphalt pavement that drains into a rectangular concrete channel. The asphalt surface has an average slope of 0.6%, and the distance from the catchment boundary to the drain is 50 m. The drainage channel is 30 m long, 25 cm wide, 20 cm deep, and has a slope of 0.8%. For an effective rainfall rate of 60 mm/h, the flow rate in the channel is estimated to be 0.025 m3/s. Estimate the time of concentration, tc of the catchment. Hint: Use the Manning’s in the kinematic wave equation form.
