Probability, risk and uncertainty analysis for hydrological design

It gives a framework that is financially critical for finding the exceptional designs of hydrological systems with a reduced cost in total inclusive of the project cost and the disaster mitigation cost. But there would be hardly any assessment of a decent quality damage function. Hence, errors in demonstrating the hydrologic events, incorrect model parameters, and so on may occur. Here, we will discuss a specific hydrological design that of a detention basin for studying and understanding the risk-based procedure, uncertainties, and probability analysis by following a systematic framework.

Errors in measurement
A well is constructed to pump water from a confined aquifer. Two observation wells, MW1 and MW2, are constructed at distances of 10 m and 100 m, respectively. Water is pumped from the pumping well at a rate of 0.8 m³/min. At steady state, drawdown is observed as 5 m in MW2 and 19 m in MW1. Note that drawdown is greater for well MW1 located closest to the pumping well. Determine the Transmissivity (cm²/s) if the aquifer is 40 m thick. (Please enter your answers with 2 decimals)

A dam releases water into a spillway, and then some distance downstream a hydraulic jump occurs. The dam height is 25 m, the initial depth in the spillway is 1 m, and the hydraulic jump leads to a region of depth 15 m. Upstream of the dam may be considered a reservoir. Determine the average velocity before the jump and whether the jump will occur. If there will be a jump, determine the velocity after the hydraulic jump, neglecting any friction losses.
