Unit Hydrograph

Hydrology is the science which deals with the study of water on the earth’s surface. The word Hydrograph is derived from the word hydro which means water. Hydrograph is basically a graph in which the discharge is plotted against the time interval at a specific point in a river or other channel. In a hydrograph, the discharge is plotted along the y-axis and time interval is plotted along the x-axis. Hydrograph is used to estimate the runoff. The variations in discharges with the change in time is shown by a hydrograph. It was revealed that the total discharge at an outlet increases with time by a kinematic wave model.

(b) At the beginning of the month of June, water level of a reservoir with surface area of 7km? was at 20m (Refer to reservoir characteristic curve in Figure Qla). Average longterm monthly rainfall for the month of June recorded at five raingages is summarized in Table Q1 (assuming the same average amount of rainfall is also recorded in the reservoir). The inflow to the reservoir X, located at the downstream catchment outfall, resulted from that rainfall can be estimated as Qin =0.65PA where P is mean areal rainfall (to be estimated by Thiessen Polygon) from a 36km² catchment area A, schematically shown in Figure 1b. An average monthly withdrawal of 6MCM from the reservoir is required for water supply purpose. Assume there is no losses from the reservoir except evaporation at 120cm/year. Determine the volume of water required to be pumped into the reservoir in that specific month to achieve a safe operating level at 21m. 80 70 60 50 V = 4.7H - 70 40 30 20 10 Note: MCM is million m' 5…
