Assume antecedent rainfall condition II, 50 ha of row crop contoured with terraces, poor condition, soil group C, and 40 ha of alfalfa, straight, good condition, soil group B. 5.3 Estimate the runoff volume, in mm, m3, and ha·m, for the watershed and conditions in Problem 5.2, except that a 60-mm storm occurred 3 days before the 80-mm rainfall. 5.4 Estimate the runoff volume, in mm, for the watershed and conditions in Problem 5.2, except that no rainfall occurred for 6 days before the 80-mm rainfall. 5.5 Estimate the runoff volume, in mm, for a 24-h, 50-yr return period storm at your location. Assume the watershed conditions in Problem 5.2.
During a flood in a catchment, when all streams are filled with water, the runoff value is ? A- at the rising limb of the hydrograph. B- at the falling limb of the hydrograph. C- at the falling limb of the hydrograph. D- at the second base flow recession part. What is the correct answer??
Calculate the runoff from a watershed of (0.01 x 4737) ha. The following data are available: Depth of rainfall is 100 mm. Antecedent rainfall condition, AMC 1: Row crop, good condition in 40 ha (Soil group C) Woodland, good condition in 20 ha (Soil group B) The day after the rainfall of 100 mm, another rainfall of 50 mm occurred. Solve for the surface runoff from the watershed. [ NOTE: Where R is the last four digits of your Registration Number. R = 4737 ]
1.Determine the weighted curve numbers for a watershed with 40 percent residential (1/4-acre lots), 25 percent open space, good condition, 20 percent commercial business (85 percent impervious), and 15 percent industrial (72 percent impervious), with corresponding soil groups of C,D, C, and D. If the watershed experienced a rainfall of 6in, what is the runoff volume?
8. A basin is divided by 1-h isochrones into four sub-areas of size 200, 250, 350 and 170 hectares from the upstream end of the outlet respectively. A rainfall event of 5-h duration with intensities of 1.7 cm/h for the first 2 h and 1.25 cm/h for the next 3 h occurs uniformly over the basin. Assuming a constant runoff coefficient of 0.5, estimate the peak rate of runoff. (An isochrone is a line on the catchment map joining points having equal time of travel of surface runoff)
