An effective rainfall of 2-hour duration produced a flood hydrograph peak of 200 m³/s. The flood hydrograph has a base flow of 20 m³/s. If the spatial average rainfall in the watershed for the duration of storm is 2 cm and the average loss rate is 0.4 cm/hour, the peak of 2-hour unit hydrograph (in m³/s - cm, up to one decimal place) is

Q.2 A catchment having an area of 150 km2 has the ø index 0.3 cm/hr. The base flow at the 3 outlet is 10m³/s. One hour unit hydrograph of the catchment area is triangular in shape with a time base of 20 hours. The peak ordinate occurs at 8 hours. If a rainfall of 4.5 cm occurs in 1 hour, then the peak ordinate of the flood hydrograph will be:

The following table gives values of measured discharges at a stream gauging site in a year. Upstream of the gauging site, a weir built across the stream diverts 3.0 Mm³ and 0.50 Mm³ of water per month for irrigation and for use in an industry respectively. The return flows from the irrigation is estimated as 0.8 Mm³ and from the industry at 0.30 Mm³ reaching the stream upstream of the gauging site. Estimate the natural flow. If the catchment area is 180 km² and the average annual rainfall is 185 cm, determine the runoff-rainfall ratio.
