Hope your help hydraulic CEE 340
![**Problem IV:**
The mean and standard deviation of the 30-minute annual maximum rainfalls observed at a rain gauge in Iowa are computed to be 10.51 mm and 5.96 mm, respectively. The Steel formula for the gauge's 100-year IDF (Intensity-Duration-Frequency) curve is:
\[ i = \frac{542}{(t+4.5)^{0.65}} \]
where \( i \) is the rainfall intensity in mm/hr, and \( t \) is the rainfall duration, in minutes.
Tasks:
1. Determine the 10-year 30-minute rainfall intensity by assuming a Gumbel distribution.
2. Develop a 100-year 24-hour synthetic design storm using the NRCS rainfall distribution method for a computational time interval of 1 hour.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc70b81a7-a8ab-4818-b3b7-8b738bf5f219%2Fdea82ff1-e7cf-490f-867b-e859e6d01deb%2Feqsh9op_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
