The peak flow of a flood hydrograph caused by an isolated storm was observed to be 100 m³/s. The storm had a duration of 8 hours and total depth of rainfall was 7 cm. If in the above storm, the total rainfall was 9.5 cm in the same duration of 8 hours, then the flood peak discharge is found to be increased by 40%. Considering the base flow as 20 m³/s, the value of -index for the given catchment is cm/h (round off to two decimal places).

Problem 2: Bayou Flow Consider a shallow channel with nearly stagnant water flowing through a swamp. The channel has a width of 18 ft, a depth of 0.50 ft, and a cross-sectional area of 9.0 ft². Numerous plants growing through the shallow water provide a large wetted perimeter of 54 ft. If the water surface elevation drops 0.0010 ft every 10.0 miles, what is the discharge according to the Darcy- Weisbach equation?
