A flood hydrograph of a river draining a catchment of 189km2 due to a 6-hour isolated storm is in the form of a triangle with a base of 66 hours and a peak flow of 36 m/s occurring at 12 hours from the start. Assuming zero base flow, develop a 6-h UH for this catchment. Using the 6h-UH in the previous problem, derive a 12-h UH for the catchment.

The following table gives values of measured discharges at a stream gauging site in a year. Upstream of the gauging site, a weir built across the stream diverts 3.0 Mm³ and 0.50 Mm³ of water per month for irrigation and for use in an industry respectively. The return flows from the irrigation is estimated as 0.8 Mm³ and from the industry at 0.30 Mm³ reaching the stream upstream of the gauging site. Estimate the natural flow.
