4. In year 1996 the annual rainfall recorded the rain gauges are as follows: Station A N Rainfall 130.0 142.1 118.2 108.5 165.2 102.1 146.9 (cm) For a 5% error in the estimation of the mean rainfall, calculate the minimum number of additional stations required to be established in the catchment.
The regression analysis of a 30 year flood data at a point on a river yielded sample mean * = 1200 m³/sec and standard deviation S = 650 m³/sec. For what discharge would you design the structure at this point to provide 95% assurance that the structure would not fail in the next 50 years? Use Gumbel's method. The value of mean and standard deviation of the reduced variate for n = 30 are 0.53622 and 1.11238 respectively.
1. The following is a rainfall record of each 5-minute interval measured during a storm: time (min) 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 rainfall (mm) 0.7 2.0 2.5 2.2 2.1 1.6 1.2 0.3 (1) plot the Rainfall hyetograph (2) plot the Cumulative rainfall hyetograph (3) determine the 10-minute maximum rainfall intensity? (4) determine the 20-minute maximum rainfall intensity? (5) determine the 30-minute maximum rainfall intensity?
A lake has an area of 2,500 acres. During a specific month, the lake evaporation was 95 mm. During the same month, the inflow to the lake from a river was on average 1.3 m3/s and the outflow from the lake via another river was on average 1.4 m3/s. Also, for the same month, a water level increase of 11 cm for the lake was observed. What is the precipitation during the month? Assume no groundwater flow.
Using the exceedence series of 30 min duration rainfall values has a mean of 1.09 inch and standard deviation of 0.343 inch. Determine the 100 year, 30 min duration rainfall values using the Gumbel(Extreme value type 1) distribution with the frequency factor method (KT)?
Q1 - Fora (200 x100 km Rectangular catchment are shown below the reciption rain gages: A = 21, B = 31, C = 25, D = 35. E = 30 and F = 28mm By using Thiessen method, find the average preciption? And compute the percentage error for astimation of average praciption? 50
4- For a storm of 3 hrs duration, the rainfall rates as follows: t ( minutes) i(cm/hr) 0-30 1.4 30-60 60-90 3.4 4.8 90-120 120-150 3.2 2.0 If the surface run off is 3.4 cm, find and W-indices. Ans: P-index=1.65 cm/hr 50-180 1.2
If the average rainfall intensity for 50 years of records is 50 mm/h (2.0 iph) for storm duration of 60 min and the coefficient of variation of the data is 0.324. Compute the theoretical rainfall intensities for the return periods of 2, 5, 20, and 100 years. Assume that the log-probability law is applicable. Show complete solution.

Calculate the loss of water in million m3 due to evaporation in that year. Assume a pan coefficient of 0.71.
A meteorological station has recorded rainfall depth for the past 59 years. An annual maximum series for precipitation depth of all 10-hour storms has been reconstructed. Following the Weibull formula, what is the estimated return period for the third highest precipitation depth of the series? A. 60 year B. 30 year C. 20 year D. 10 year
