During a 6 hour storm, the total rainfall was recorded as 15 cm over an area of 900 km2. If the surface runoff determined from the hydrograph is 1x108 m3, calculate the phi-index.
Compute the diameter (cm) of the outfall required to drain storm water from the watershed described in figure below. Use rainfall intensity = 4 cm/hr. Average velocity of flow is 1 m/s. Other data are for: Area 1: C=0.5, area=0.005 km2. Area 2: C=0.4, area =0.01 km2. Area 3: C=0.7, area=0.015 km2.
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?
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 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?

Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question
A reservoir had a water surface elevation of 110 m above the datum at the beginning of the month. In the same month, the reservoir received an average inflow of 7.5 cms (m3/s) from surface runoff sources. For the same period, the outflow from the reservoir had an average value of 5 cms. Further, in the same month, the reservoir received a rainfall of 180 mm and losses due to evaporation of 5 cm. Assume the area of the lake is 50 km2 acres and assume no contribution from groundwater storage. What is the water surface elevation of the reservoir after the month?
9.4. A small farm reservoir behaves as two identical CFSTRs in series. Flow into the reservoir consists of runoff from pasture land having an average BOD, of 50 g/m³ and an average flow rate of 0.5 m³/s. Volume of the reservoir is 2.16 x 106 m³. If k = 0.2 d-¹ and k, = 0.35 d-¹ at 20°C, determine the dissolved-oxygen concentration if the water temperature is 20°C, the inflow is anaerobic, and steady-state conditions exist.
