Ordinates ofg 2-hr unit hydrograph are given below.

Problem 3 The table below contains the data for a one-hour unit hydrograph. Time Q (hr) (cfs/in) 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 0 145 246 359 979 432 246 134 65 32 0 (a) Determine the area of the watershed to which this unit hydrograph corresponds. Report your answer in acres. (b) Assume a very intense 3-hour storm occurs shortly after a rainy period, so the ground is very saturated. The runoff from the first one-hour interval of the storm totals 0.5 in., the runoff from the second one-hour interval is 2.5 in, and the runoff from the third one-hour interval totals 1.7 in. The baseflow during and after the storm is 80 cfs. Derive the storm hydrograph for this 3-hour storm. table that clearly indicates how you used the unit hydrograph, sample calculations Provide a with sufficient explanation, explanatory sketches, and a graph of the storm hydrograph. (c) Determine the peak discharge that will occur in the river if this 3-hour storm occurs.

How would you go about deriving a UH from a catchment for which data (catchment area, rainfall and discharge values) are available? Derive a hyetograph from the incident rainfall (losses do not need to be considered to derive a UH); Determine the UH using the formula "Ui = Qi/P" (for a single interval hyetograph) or using "deconvolution" (for a multiple interval hyetograph). Estimate direct runoff hydrograph by subtracting baseflow from observed stream flow data; Estimate the total runoff volume and the direct runoff depth over the catchment; Determine the UH ordinates using the formula "Unit hydrograph = Direct runoff hydrograph x 1/Direct runoff depth"; Estimate catchment losses and subtract these from the incident precipitation to obtain excess rainfall; the duration of the excess rainfall is used as the duration of the UH. Determine the precipitation volume for each time interval; Use UH superposition and proportionality principles to derive a direct unit hydrograph; Estimate…
