Problem 4. (25 Points)
For a 50-year, 24-hour storm in Los Angeles calculate and plot the design storm hyetograph and
cumulative mass curve.
An urban watershed in Jefferson County is shown in Figure 1 below, along with the travel paths from the
most remote points in each subarea. The details of the subareas are given in Table 1 below. Determine
the 50 year peak flow for the drainage outlet G. Use the IDF chart for Jefferson County that is shown
below. Use the NRCS Method (TR55) to determine time of concentration and estimate runoff coefficients
using Table 15.2.3 (provided in Lesson Notes).
