(a) Explain 'design flood. Is this the same as 'maximum probable flood' ? (b) What are the methods of estimating maximum flood discharge? Give three formulae for maxi- mum flood estimation in India indicating for which part of the country they are applicable. (c) Find the value of the constants C and n in the empirical formula Q = CA"*, where Q is the flood discharge in cumec and A is the catchment area in km² from the following data: А (кm?): Q (ситес): 4 10 50 100 200 100 158 354 500 706 (Hint Plot Q vs. A on log-log paper; C = 50-intercept; n = 0.5 slope of straight line; Q = 50 JĀ)
