Use the Clark unit hydrograph procedure to compute and plot the 3-hr unit hydrograph for a watershed that has an area of 1,100 km^2 and a time of concentration of 5 hr. The Clark storage coefficient is estimated to be 4 hr. Use a 1-hr time interval for the computations and apply the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers synthetic time-area relationship. Extend the unit hydrograph to t = 25 hr to capture the recession limb.
