A detention basin with dimensions of width, 20 m, length, 85 m and maximum height, 4 m. receives water from an inflow hydrograph of total volume 14000 m3. The volume of water in it when the water depth is 2.5 m is A) 2550 m3 (=85 x 20 x (4 - 2.5)) B) 6800 m3, because the volume of the inflow hydrograph exceeds the maximum volume of the basin C) 4250 m3 D) 14000 m3 (the value of the inflow hydrograph)

A) 2550 m3 (=85 x 20 x (4 - 2.5))
B) 6800 m3, because the volume of the inflow hydrograph exceeds the maximum volume
of the basin
C) 4250 m3
D) 14000 m3 (the value of the inflow hydrograph)
Transcribed Image Text:A detention basin with dimensions of width, 20 m, length, 85 m and maximum height, 4 m,
receives water from an inflow hydrograph of total volume 14000 m3. The volume of water in
it when the water depth is 2.5 m is
O 2550 m3 (= 85 x 20 x (4 -2.5))
O 6800 m3, because the volume of the inflow hydrograph exceeds the maximum volume
of the basin
O 4250 m3
O 14000 m3 (the value of the inflowbydrograph)
