The time of concentration of a 5.8ha catchment has been estimated as 33 minutes. Estimate the peak rate of runoff for a storm with an intensity of 49mm/hr and a duration of 22 minutes. Assume the coefficient of runoff as 0.61 and the time-area relationship to be linear. Present the result in the unit of m³/s and keep two decimal points (i.e to the accuracy of 0.01).

ONLY HANDWRITTEN ANSWER NEEDED
You have been given a 1-hour unit hydrograph (1 unit = 1 cm) and have been asked to use it to derive the surface runoff hydrograph for a 2-hour storm for which the total depth of rainfall excess was X cm and the intensity was constant. To derive it, you can: Multiply the ordinates of the 1-hour unit hydrograph by X/2 Find the 2-hour unit hydrograph and then multiply its ordinates X/2 Consider the storm as having two 1-hour periods of depth X/2 , multiply each 1-hour UH by X/2, lag them by 1 hour, and then add their ordinates. Multiply the ordinates of the 1-hour unit hydrograph by 2X
