Probability, risk and uncertainty analysis for hydrological design

It gives a framework that is financially critical for finding the exceptional designs of hydrological systems with a reduced cost in total inclusive of the project cost and the disaster mitigation cost. But there would be hardly any assessment of a decent quality damage function. Hence, errors in demonstrating the hydrologic events, incorrect model parameters, and so on may occur. Here, we will discuss a specific hydrological design that of a detention basin for studying and understanding the risk-based procedure, uncertainties, and probability analysis by following a systematic framework.

6- Maximum annual rainfall depth data are fitted with a distribution that is positively skewed (i.e., it has a longer tail to the right). If the mean value for the distribution is 4.22 in, then the rainfall depth with return period 2 years will be (use the next page table): (5 p) (A) Strictly less than 4.22 in (B) Equal to 4.22 in (C) Strictly larger than 4.22 in (D) None of the above
A 927-acre catchment has been monitored for many years. It has been found that the average annual rainfall over the catchment is 37 inch and that the average streamflow is 1.0 cfs. Geologic investigations reveal a bedrock underlying the catchment that effectively prevents any deep seepage or groundwater recharge. Estimate the average annual evapotranspiration in inches for this catchment.
