A small rural catchment had rapid urbanization over a period. The impact of urbanization on the urban hydrology of the area is reflected in the change occurring in the 1-hour unit hydrograph of the area as follows: Before Urbanization: Properties of 1-hour unit hydrograph: Shape: Triangle Peak : 3.6 m³/s occurring 3 hours from the start Base: 10 hours o-index: 7 mm/hour After Urbanization: Properties of 1-hour unit hydrograph: Shape: Triangle Peak: 6.0 m³/s occurring 1.5 hours from the start Base: 6 hours o-index: 4 mm/hour If a design storm has intensity of 40 mm/h, estimate the percentage increase in the peak storm runoff and in flood volume due to urbanisation.

A small drainage basin has an area of 8.7 km² and received 640 mm of precipitation in a given year. In the same year, the stream draining this basin had an average discharge of 1.3 x 106 m³ /yr. The basin has one inlet stream with an average annual discharge of 2.9 cfs and that there has been no change in water stored within the basin. Given that 1cfs= 0.028316847m³/s, compute the annual evaporation from the basin in m³ /yr
The monthly pan evaporation measured in a lake for the month of January was 16.7 cm. If the average water surface area is 2.55 sq.km, estimate the evaporation loss that month in cubic meters if the pan coefficient is 0.70?
Flow rate in a stream discharging water shed runoff is 50 cubic meters per second after five days without rain. The flow rate in the stream reaches half that amount after 20 days without rain. Determine the equation of basal flow hydrograph. Find the amount of flow rate after a period of six months in the watercourse.
