A two-hour rainfall event steadily delivers 2.5 cm/hr to a 150-hectare watershed with the following characteristics: • 50 hectares are ½ acre residential lots, hydrologic soil group B, 25% imperviousness • 100 hectares are row crops (corn, contoured, good condition, hydrologic group C) • Antecedent soil moisture condition is AMC II • The soils are loam with 2% organic matter • The slope is 2% with slope length 100m → Assume LS factor = 0.25 a) Use a weighted average CN to estimate the runoff depth (Q) in mm over the entire 150 ha area for: i) the first 30 minutes of the storm, and ii) the entire storm. b) Estimate the gross erosion from the row crops (not the residential area) during this event in metric tonnes / ha. c) Estimate the clay enrichment ratio if the sediment transported in the storm runoff is composed of 40% clay. Remember the soils are loam.

Q#3b) Justify that water application to fields depend upon the soil condition?
Determine the amount of evapotranspiration from an area if the total rainfall precipitated during a storm is 10.0 mm. Given the antecedent moisture at the root in the soil was 5.00 mm, the loss of water due to seepage 2.5 mm, losses due to percolation 2.00 mm, surface run-off 3.00 mm and the moisture retained in the soil is 1.00 mm.

A rapid sand filter for a town with water requirement of 1 MLD is to be provided with rate of filtration at 4000 //hr/m2, with backwash system. What would be the size of filter and its underdrainage system to the nearest approximation? (a) 10 and 0.032 sq.m (b) 11 and 0.022 sq.m (b) 12 and 0.045 sq.m (d) 15 and 0.062 sq.m
A lake has an inflow and outflow of 20x10^6 m^3/yr, a mean depth of 10 m and a surface area of 10x10^6 m^2. Waste is discharge to the surface layer at a rate of 10^5 gm/day. The upper 3 m of the lake form a well-mixed epilimnion while the remainder is mixed more slowly at a vertical dispersion rate of 1 m^2/day. What is the well-mixed concentration in the epilimnion and predict the concentration at the bottom of the lake as a function of time. How long can you use this model?
A 300 acre watershed just south of Chicago is currently undeveloped (woods). The soils are primarily clay, the hydraulic length of the watershed is 6560 ft, and the average lank slope is 1%. Determine the SCS synthetic UH before development and finish the table below. Solution: from Table 11.7; 1. For clay soil with woods cover, CN= 2. The soil moisture deficit S = in; 3. For a watershed with hydraulic length, time of concentration Te= hr min; 4. Time to peak Tp= min: 5. Peak discharge Op= cfsjin; 6. Storm duration is AD= hr= min; 7. The -min UH is displayed below using Table 11.11; Flow Time Time Ratios Flow Ratios (min) (cfs) (t/tp) (9/ap) 21 13 0.1 0.2 40 42 0.31 0.4 0.66 0.6 0,93 0.8 125 121 0.93 1.2 102 146 1.4 0.78 167 73 0.56 1.6 51 188 0.39 1.8
A 927-acre catchment has been monitored for many years. It has been found that the average annual rainfall over the catchment is 37 inch and that the average streamflow is 1.0 cfs. Geologic investigations reveal a bedrock underlying the catchment that effectively prevents any deep seepage or groundwater recharge. Estimate the average annual evapotranspiration in inches for this catchment.
