Compute the diameter (cm) of the outfall required to drain storm water from the watershed described in figure below. Use rainfall intensity = 4 cm/hr. Average velocity of flow is 1 m/s. Other data are for: Area 1: C=0.5, area=0.005 km2. Area 2: C=0.4, area =0.01 km2. Area 3: C=0.7, area=0.015 km2.
6. Runoff from a 200 mile² catchment drains into a reservoir than has an average surface area of 4000 acres. The reservoir is to be used for municipal water supply. Annual rainfall over the watershed is 40 inches and the annual runoff is 2 inches. Evaporation from the reservoir averages 40 inches per year. If the surface area of the reservoir is roughly constant with depth, how much will the reservoir depth change in one year?
If the Kuils River has a catchment area of 200 square kilometres and receives in a year 600 mm/year of rainfall, and the runoff from this catchment is 100 mm/year.

Water flows in a horizontal, rectangular channel initially 10 feet wide and 2 feet deep. The initial velocity is 6 ft/s. This flow encounters downstream a simultaneous downward step and constriction. No energy losses are associated with these changes in channel configuration. a. What is the specific discharge, q: i. Upstream (for w= 10 feet)? ii. Downstream (for w = 6 feet)? b. What specific energy, E, is associated with the flow as initially specified (at the upstream location)? c. What is the minimum energy needed to pass the full discharge at the downstream location? d. What is the height (Az) of the smallest downward step necessary for the upstream flow conditions to remain as specified?
The hydraulic conductivity of a homogeneous gravelly aquifer is 3 x 10-1 cm/sec. The hydraulic gradient (groundwater surface slope) of the phreatic (water table) aquifer is 0.01 and the aquifer's effective porosity is 0.25. Calculate the following two parameters and provide the answer to question b) in the space provided (numerical answer only, no units or any). Calculate the specific discharge that represents flow conditions of the aquifer in cm/sec. Also Calculate the approximate average velocity of a conservative solute dissolved in this aquifer, calculated to units of cm/sec (enter numerical answer without stating units).
The three-reservoir system is being utilized to supply water for the metropolitan city. The elevations of Reservoir A, Reservoir B, and Reservoir C are 200 mamsl, 150 mamsl, and 40 mamsl, respectively. Pipe A which connects Reservoir A to a junction has a length of 5000 m, diameter of 1200 mm, and C-value of 100. Pipe B which connects Reservoir B to a junction has a length of 1000 m, diameter of 600 mm, and C-value of 90. Pipe C which connects Reservoir C to a junction has a length of 8000 m, diameter of 2000 mm, and C-value of 80. Determine the (a) head loss in meter along Pipe A, Pipe B, and Pipe C, and (b) flow rate in m3/s along Pipe A, Pipe B, and Pipe C.
Q1. An unconfined aquifer of 0.15 specific yield, and surface area of 500 km². How long it will take for the water table to drop 5 m from its original hydraulic head, if the net withdrawal from the aquifer (pumping - recharge) is 0.79 m³/s.
The discharge through a 3-m wide rectangular channel is 12 m³/s. If the head loss in a hydraulic jump is 1.3 m, find the depths before and after the jump.
2. You're designing a stilling basin and you need to know the minimum length of that basin and also how much energy loss will be achieved before flow is released into the downstream channel. Given the basin width is 10-feet, the flow rate is 240 CFS, the upstream froude number is found from hydraulic modeling to be 4.0. Solve the following: • Minimum length of the stilling basin. • Energy loss within the stilling basin (Calculate both energy loss in feet and in tons). • The depth of water being released outside of the stilling basin. • The Froude Number being released from the Stilling Basin. • Look at USBR Design of Small Dams and Write a paragraph (4-5 sentences) of the recommended stilling basin you would propose for the hydraulic scenario.
There are two identical groundwater pump facilities that is operating 6 kilometers apart. The hydraulic conductivity is 40m/day. Each pump well structure has a tube diameter of 75cm. The original water table has an elevation of 110 m. However, it is maintained that the maximum drawdown (at the tube) is 18m. The water table will not change at the midpoint between the two pump wells. Determine the drawdown at a point 2 km from the pump.

A new 45 cm CI pipe, 600 m long carries 260 L/s of water from an upper reservoir A, and flows into two new cast-iron pipes each 500 m long connected to two lower reservoirs. One pipe is 30 cm in diameter that leads to reservoir B, with water surface 5.0 lpwer than that in A.
