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.
