- A 300 acre watershed just south of Chicago is currently undeveloped (woods). The soils are primarily clay, the hydraulic length of the watershed is 6560 ft, and the average lank slope is 1%. Determine the SCS synthetic UH before development and finish the table below. Solution: from Table 11.7; 1. For clay soil with woods cover, CN= 2. The soil moisture deficit S = in; 3. For a watershed with hydraulic length, time of concentration Te= hr min; 4. Time to peak Tp= min: 5. Peak discharge Op= cfsjin; 6. Storm duration is AD= hr= min; 7. The -min UH is displayed below using Table 11.11; Flow Time Time Ratios Flow Ratios (min) (cfs) (t/tp) (9/ap) 21 13 0.1 0.2 40 42 0.31 0.4 0.66 0.6 0,93 0.8 125 121 0.93 1.2 102 146 1.4 0.78 167 73 0.56 1.6 51 188 0.39 1.8arrow_forwardA 927-acre catchment has been monitored for many years. It has been found that the average annual rainfall over the catchment is 37 inch and that the average streamflow is 1.0 cfs. Geologic investigations reveal a bedrock underlying the catchment that effectively prevents any deep seepage or groundwater recharge. Estimate the average annual evapotranspiration in inches for this catchment.arrow_forward
