It rains 3.0 in on a 20 acre watershed. What is the volume of runoff if 30% of the watershed area is a lake, and infiltration on the remaining soil is estimated at 1.0 in? Express your answer in ft³. Assume the lake level is low and does not contribute to runoff (i.e. the lake only serves as storage space).
(i) A catchment experiences a 2-hour duration isolated storm and the peak of the flood hydrograph due to this storm was found to be 220 m³/s. The total depth of rainfall was 47 mm. Estimate the peak of the 2-hour unit hydrograph of this catchment, assuming a constant base flow of 15 m 3/s and an average infiltration rate of 2.5 mm/hr. If the area of the catchment is 445 km², determine the base width of the 2-hour unit hydrograph assuming that the unit hydrograph is triangular in shape.
The surface runoff hydrograph after the base flow separation is called: * None of the these Direct Runoff Hydrograph (DRH) Base Flow (BF) Discharge (Q) Unit Hydrograph (UH) The total rainfall in a catchment of area 1200 Km2 during a 6-hr storm is 16 cm. The surface runoff is 1.2 *10^8 m3. The infiltration index is: * 1.2 cm/hr 0.1 cm/hr 1 cm/hr cannot be estimated with the given data 0.2 cm/hr
Rational Method: Determine the pre (C = 0.3) and post development (C= 0.75) peak runoff for a 90-acre site that experiences a 0.35 inches/hour rainfall intensity, using the rational method. Show all your work, including any assumptions you will make.
Q1)A storm water retention pond following a 4-hour rainfall event with 2-in accumulation. The contributing watershed area is 20 acres, of which 2 acres in the pond. The pond has a rectangular geometry. The initial depth of water in the pond is 5 ft. The soil of the watershed on average is pasture type in good condition. The pond drains by infiltration through the bottom (fully effective) and sides of the pond at the rate of 2 in/hr. The effective area for infiltration through the sides of the pond is 2000 ft. What is the depth of water in the pond 12 hr after rainfall ends? Assume runoff has ended by this time?
Determine the required area (in ft ) of a bioretention basin to service runoff from a shopping complex with 4 .2 acres of paved parking, 1.1 acre of sidewalks, 0.5 acre of landscaping. The 24-hr design storm is 1 inch. Use the empirical coefficients in Small Storm Hydrology method. There is no underdrain pipe for the bioretention basin. Use the following guidelines for the design: Ponding depth = 12 inch Media bed: 36 inches deep, porosity = 0.30 Gravel bed: 24 inches deep, porosity = 0.36
Hydrograph Analysis
You are designing a drainage system for a residential site in Atlanta using a 10-year return period. The site has an area of 1 ha, a flow length of 100 m, an average slop of 1%, a Manning's number of 0.25 and Type B soil. Drainage regulations require that the kinematic wave equation be used to calculate the time of concentration. You are allowed to use either the rational method or TR-55 to calculate the peak runoff rate. It is suggested you used a runoff coefficient of 0.4, which is typical for residential sites. What curve number would be required for both the rational method and the TR-55 method to provide the same peak runoff rate?
