I am having trouble figuring out this area of mixed-use land area that is proposed for construction. The region is known to be soil type C. This mixed land use has a drainage outlet into a 600m^2 reservoir. The nearby commercial areas want to withdraw some water from the reservoir for their manufacturing needs, but they’re unsure how much they can take. The city has instructed the business owners that regulations indicate the water level must not drop more than 15.00 cm. Help me analyze this problem to inform the business owners how much water they can withdraw for the months of May and June.
Relevant information is below:
- Open Water | Area = 5000 m^2 |CN = 0
- Contoured and Terraced Small Grain | Area = 15380 m^2 | Contoured & terraced (C&T), good, CN = 78
- Commercial and Business | Area = 12450 m^2| commercial and business, CN = 94
- Town Houses | Area = 4160 m^2 | 1/8 acre or less (town houses), CN = 90
- Open Space | Area = 5290 m^2| open spaces, fair, CN = 79
- Streets | Area = 8230 m^2 | Paved; curbs and storm sewers (excluding right-of-way), CN= 98
- Precipitation intensity over construction zone (new landuse) – I have a hyetograph for the area over which the new landuse area is proposed, the points are as follows
- (Week 1, Intensity = 0.047 cm/h)
- (Week 2, Intensity = 0 cm/h)
- (Week 3, Intensity = 0.022 cm/h)
- (Week 4, Intensity = 0.018 cm/h)
- The idf curves for specifically the region of the reservoir only show that
- The 2-year line has points at (0.083 h, 125.5 mm/h), (0.167 h, 77.3 mm/h), (1.0 h, 22.1mm/h), (6.0 h, 6.3 mm/h), (12.0 h, 3.9 mm/h)
- The 5-year line has points at (0.083 h, 165.9 mm/h), (0.167 h, 102.2 mm/h), (1.0 h, 29.2mm/h), (6.0 h, 8.3 mm/h), (12.0 h, 5.1 mm/h)
- The 25-year line has points at (0.083 h, 224.9 mm/h), (0.167 h, 138.6 mm/h), (1.0 h, 39.6 mm/h), (6.0 h, 11.3 mm/h), (12.0 h, 7.0 mm/h)
- The 50-year line has points at (0.083 h, 249.9 mm/h), (0.167 h, 154 mm/h), (1.0 h, 44.0 mm/h), (6.0 h, 12.6 mm/h), (12.0 h, 7.7 mm/h)
- The return periods and durations of precipitation events over this reservoir for the months of May and June are below and these precipitation events occurred only once throughout each month.
- Return Period in May = 5
- Return Period in June = 2
- Duration in May (h) = 6 h
- Duration in June (h) = 6 h
- Evaporation from reservoir is below, contains the evaporation rates from this reservoir:
- Pan evaporation rate in May (cm/d) = 0.16 cm/d
- Pan evaporation rate in June (cm/d) = 0.24 cm/d
Any help is greatly appreciated :) This is not a graded assignment, it is a practice problem and I am struggling with it

- A Palm Spring golf course has requested a permit to install a 40000 ft2 pond to enhance the beauty of its facilities. Since the evaporation rates are very high in Palm Springs, it is likely they will need to pump a lot of groundwater to keep the pond full. The city has hired you (a water resources engineer) to determine how much water needs to be pumped per year in order to keep the pond filled. There is a small creek that discharges an average of 0.25 m3/s into the pond. The outlet valve from the pond releases an average rate of 0.30 m3/s (to keep the pond from getting stagnant). Precipitation on the pond is 260 mm/year, and the annual evaporation is estimated to be 105 inches/year. The pond will be lined with concrete to prevent any drainage or seepage from the bottom. Using a water balance, what volume (on average) of groundwater (in cubic meters) must be added to the lake each year to keep the pond at a constant level? Draw a schematic of the problem to identify the control volume…arrow_forwardProblem 2: Bayou Flow Consider a shallow channel with nearly stagnant water flowing through a swamp.
