11- The design storm of water shed has the depths of rainfall of 4.9 and 3.9 cm for the consecutive 1-hr periods. The 1-hr unit hydrograph can be approximated by a triangle of base 6hr with a peak of 50 m³/s occurring after 2 hr from the beginning. Compute the flood hydrograph assuming an average loss rate of 9 mm/hr and constant base flow of 10 m³/s. What are the areas of water shed and its coefficient of runoff?
Determine average rainfall using Arithmetic mean method
During a storm, the rates of rainfall observed at a frequency of 15 min for one hour are 12.5, 17.5, 22.5 abd 7.5 cm/h. If the phi-index is 7.5 cm/h, then the total run-off will be 1. 22.50 2. 15.00 3. 30.00 4. 7.50
