Question

hydrology engineering

A river catchment has a 2 hour unit hydrograph with the ordinates 0, 3, 11, 35, 55, 66, 63, 40, 22, 9
and 2 m/s. Assume that the base flow at time t=0 hour is 20 m/s and linearly increases to 44 m/s at t=24
hours.
a) Compute the hydrograph resulting from two successive 2 hour periods of effective rain of
2.0 cm and 1.5 cm respectively.
b) To prevent downstream flooding, the maximum flow to be released from the catchment is set at 180
m/s. Calculate the space needed to store the excess water from this event (in m?).
