The McCray Creek watershed is a composite basin consisting of
soil group A, B and C soils. The land use areas within each
hydrologic soil group are tabulated below. Assuming an average
antecedent runoff condition (ARC I) and fair ground cover
1. (25 points) Calculate the depth of direct runoff from a 9-
inch storm event using the NRCS method.
2. (25 points) Using the NRCS Method and the storm
hyetograph provided, compute and plot the excess rainfall
hyetograph.
3. (25 points) Compute and plot the NRCS Synthetic Unit
Hydrograph for McCray Creek for 1 hour of excess
precipitation.
4. (25 points) Given the 1-Hour Unit Hydrograph and the ERH
created in part 2. Compute and plot the storm hydrograph.
Assume a base flow of 130 cfs.
