The drainage area of a watershed is 50 km2. The index is 0.5 cm/hour and the base flow at the outlet is 10 m³/s. One hour unit hydrograph (unit depth = 1 cm) of the watershed is triangular in shape with a time base of 15 hours. The peak ordinate occurs at 5 hours. For a storm of depth of 5.5 cm and duration of 1 hour, the peak ordinate (in m³/s) of the hydrograph is

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.

If the lake level upstream from a spillway is 55 m above the channel floor at the base of the spillway just upstream of the hydraulic jump, estimate the depth and velocity there for a flow rate of 1000 m^3/s and a spillway width of 30 m. What is the value of the Froude number? Neglect the approach velocity in the lake and the head losses on the spillway.
