2. The following plot shows the infiltration capacity and precipitation rate at 10 min intervals during a rain storm in a small catchment with an area of 300 m². There is a small, cobble- filled, ephemeral channel at the outlet of the catchment with a width of 2.5 m, slope of 2 m per 100 m, and banks that are 1.5 m high. During the storm, assume the only source of discharge in the channel is due to Hortonian overland flow, and that all the rest of the precipitation is stored in the catchment. a. What was the peak discharge in the channel? b. What was the flow depth, average flow velocity, Reynolds number, and Froude number during peak discharge? c. What was the peak shear stress acting on the bed, and was it sufficient to move cobble-sized grains of sediment?
