If the mean value for the distribution is 4.22 in, then the rainfall depth with return period 2 years will be (use the next page table): (5 p) (A) Strictly less than 4.22 in (B) Equal to 4.22 in (C) Strictly larger than 4.22 in (D) None of the abovearrow_forward
- An effective rainfall of 2 hour duration produced a flood hydrograph peak of 200 m³/s. The flood hygrograph has a base flow of 20 m³/s. If the spatial average rainfall in the watershed for the duration of storm is 2 cm and the average loss rate is 0.4 cm/hour, the peak of 2-hour unit hygrograph (in m³/s-cm up to one decimal place) isarrow_forwardThe following rainfall data in 5-minute intervals were recorded for a storm: Time (min): Depth (in) 5 :0.07 10 :0.20 15: 0.25 20: 0.22 25 :0.21 30: 0.16 35 :0.12 40 :0.03 a) plot the rainfall hyetograph as intensity (in/hr) versus time (min) b) calculate the maximum depth (in.) and intensity (in/hr) recorded in 5, 10, 20 and 30 minutesarrow_forward
