At the outflow spot of Little Alamance Creek into Greater Alamance Creek, baseflow (i.e., the natural flow before any rainfall is added) is measured with a velocity (i.e., flow rate) of 0.9 ft/sec. If the baseflow stream width averages 20 feet wide and 6 inches deep, what is the average baseflow discharge (i.e., volume flow per unit time) in both cubic feet per second and cubic meters per second?

The flow rates measured during a precipitation at the outlet of a basin with an area of 32400 hectares are given below. It is assumed that the precipitation intensity is constant 60 mm/hr and the infiltration index of the basin is 10 mm/hr. Determine the duration of the unit hydrograph and obtain the 60-minute unit hydrograph of the basin. You can take the base flow as 100 m³/s.
