A small drainage basin has an area of 8.7 km² and received 640 mm of precipitation in a given year. In the same year, the stream draining this basin had an average discharge of 1.3 x 106 m³ /yr. The basin has one inlet stream with an average annual discharge of 2.9 cfs and that there has been no change in water stored within the basin. Given that 1cfs= 0.028316847m³/s, compute the annual evaporation from the basin in m³ /yr
Assuming a circular watershed with radius 900km has its center at the origin. The rain gauges are located at ARG1(0,600), ARG2(300, -519.615), and ARG3(-599.479, 25). Deter- mine the estimated aerial rainfall using Thiessen Polygon method. ARG1 = 5mm, ARG2 = 12mm, ARG3 = 15mm
A river catehment has a 2.0 hour unit hydrograph with the ordinates 0,3,11,35,55,66,63,40,22,9 and 2 m'/sec. Assume that the base flow at time t=0 hour is 50 m/sec and linearly increases to 74 m'/sec at t=24 hour. Compute the hydrograph resulting from two successive 2.0 hour periods of effective rainfall of 2.0 cm and 3.0 cm respectively.

QI. (a) Describe the Rational' method of designing surface water drainage systems. Define fully any terms used in the description. Discuss the assumptions made in applying the rational method, and comment upon the procedure used to predict the peak flow for a given return period. (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 36km? catchment area A, schematically shown in Figure lb. An average monthly withdrawal of 6MCM from the reservoir is required for water supply…
