Compute the 4-hr Snyder's synthetic unit hydrograph for a watershed with an area of 27.8 square miles and a main channel length of 16.3 miles. The main channel length from the outlet to the point opposite the centroid of the watershed is 5.4 miles. The regional parameters are C₁ = 1.7 and C₂ = 0.5. Plot the resulting hydrograph and label the lagged time to peak (tr), time to peak (TDR). peak discharge (Q₂R), and time base (T₁). (similar to 8.4.4)
6. Runoff from a 200 mile² catchment drains into a reservoir than has an average surface area of 4000 acres. The reservoir is to be used for municipal water supply. Annual rainfall over the watershed is 40 inches and the annual runoff is 2 inches. Evaporation from the reservoir averages 40 inches per year. If the surface area of the reservoir is roughly constant with depth, how much will the reservoir depth change in one year?
Question- Hydrology The total rainfall in a catchment of area 1000 km² during an 8 hours storm is 24 cm, while the surface runoff due to the storm is 2 × 108 m³. The p-index is
If the Kuils River has a catchment area of 200 square kilometres and receives in a year 600 mm/year of rainfall, and the runoff from this catchment is 100 mm/year. Assuming that there is no loss to or gain of water from subsurface storage, the amount of evaporation isA) 400 mm/year, B) 500 mm/year, C) 300 mm/year D) 900 mm/year
The peak magnitude of 4 hr direct runoff hydrograph over a catchment area is 300 m3/s. The effective rainfall intensity is 1.2 cm/hr and infiltration loss during the same period is 0.4 cm. Find the peak value of the corresponding 4 hr unit hydrograph assuming uniform base flow of 20 m3/s.
The total rainfall in a catchment of area 1000 km² during an 8 hours storm is 24 cm, while the surface runoff due to the storm is 2 × 3 108 m³. The p-index is
Please provide an explanation for evry formula and solution. And be clear with your answer. In 1997, Upper Grand watershed near Maputi, Bukidnon with an area of 4350 sq.km received 77.7 cm of precipitation. The average rate of flow measured in the Grand River, which drained the watershed, was 39.6 cu.m/s. Infiltration was estimated to occur at an average rate of 9.2 x 10-7 cm/s. Evapotranspiration was estimated to be 45 cm/yr. What is the change in storage in the watershed in cm/yr. Also, calculate the runoff coefficient for this watershed.
Question- A peak flow of a flood hydrograph due to a 6 hour storm is 470 m³/s. The corresponding average depth of rainfall is 8 cm. Assume an Infiltration loss of 0.25 cm/hour and a constant base flow of 15 m³/s. What is the peak discharge of 6 hour unit hydrograph for this Catchment?
