Runoff data have been collected for a 4-hour storm over a 120 acre watershed as indicated in the table. If the total volume of water infiltrated during the storm was 3.0 Ac-ft and the Phi Index is 0.1 in/hr, sketch the rainfall hyetograph with EVERYTHING labeled appropriately. Also, report the depth and volume of precipitation (in inches and Ac-ft, respectively) for each 1-hour period.
Question 8. [2 Points] Create a 60-minute hydrograph for a 10-acre flat lawn covered with yellow bluestem grass on clayey loam soil and the time of concentration = 20 minutes. A 10-year storm frequency is to be considered. Calculate the volume of the storm runoff.
A rainfall hyetograph shows a) the total volume of rainfall for a storm event; b) the cumulative volume of rainfall with time over the duration of a storm event; c) the variation of rainfall event over a watershed; d) the intensity of volume of rainfall as a function of time; e) none of the above
Analysis of rainfall and runoff records for a certain storm over a basin (of area 3210 km²) gave the following data: Rainfall for successive 2 hr periods: 2.5, 6.5 and 4.5 cm/hr. Direct surface discharge at the concentration point for successive 2-hr periods: 400, 1200, 4500, 7700, 12000, 10220, 8260, 3900, 838 and 400 m’. Derive the unit hydrograph for the catchment area.

Using the total storm rainfall depths given, determine the average rainfall over the watershed using the arithmetic mean method.
An effective rainfall of 2 hour duration produced a flood hydrograph peak of 200 m³/s. The flood hygrograph has a base flow of 20 m³/s. If the spatial average rainfall in the watershed for the duration of storm is 2 cm and the average loss rate is 0.4 cm/hour, the peak of 2-hour unit hygrograph (in m³/s-cm up to one decimal place) is
The following rainfall data in 5-minute intervals were recorded for a storm: Time (min): Depth (in) 5 :0.07 10 :0.20 15: 0.25 20: 0.22 25 :0.21 30: 0.16 35 :0.12 40 :0.03 a) plot the rainfall hyetograph as intensity (in/hr) versus time (min) b) calculate the maximum depth (in.) and intensity (in/hr) recorded in 5, 10, 20 and 30 minutes
A 20-minute rainfall event occurred at a small catchment (without any base flow), which has 2 branch rivers (or tributaries) with individual sub-catchments. This storm generated a triangular runoff hydrograph with peak flow of 139 L/s at the catchment outlet. Base of the triangular hydrograph was 1 hr 12 minutes. The rainfall distribution and other relevant data is given in Table 1. Assume that the rainfall was uniform over the subcatchments. Calculate the followings: i) Total rainfall volume fallen on the catchment. ii) Total runoff volume generated from the catchment during this rainfall event. iii) Average runoff coefficient for the whole catchment for that particular rainfall event.
