A catchment area is presented in the Figure 1. Six rainfall gauges A, B, C, D, E and F are spread over this watershed and nearby. The inter isohyets areas I, II, II, IV and V are given as 20, 50, 70, 90, and 10 km? respectively. All the rainfall and isohyets are given in cm. Estimate the mean precipitation over this catchment area using arithmetic mean and isohyetal methods.

Question 03 In a given year, a catchment with an area of 9536 km? received 1.3 m of precipitation. The average rate of flow measured in a river draining the catchment was 30 m³s1. a. How much total river runoff occurred in the year (in m³)? b. What is the runoff coefficient? c. How much water is lost due to the combined effects of evaporation, transpiration, and infiltration. (Express in m).
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.

A drainage basin has a area of 7322 km2. The average annual precipitation for this area is 909 mm. The average surface water flow at the outlet of the catchment is 21.4 x 108 m3/year and the average groundwater flow out of the basin is 94.6 mm/year. Assume trailing zeros are significant if present. Determine the annual average evaporation in mm/year. (give your answer to one decimal place)
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…
