What is the Duration of Effective Rainfall (Duration of the Unit Hydrograph)?
A 100 ha watershed has the following characteristics: i. Maximum length of travel of water in the catchment = 3500 m ii. Difference in elevation between the most remote point on the catchment and the outlet = 65 m iii. Land use/cover details: (see uploaded image!!) The maximum intensity-duration-frequency relationship for the watershed is given by:3 97T0.165/(D+0.5)0.733where i = intensity in cm/h, T = Return period in years and D = duration of rainfall in hours. Estimate the 25-year peak runoff from the watershed that can be expected at the outlet of the watershed.

There is 10 rain gauge stations in a catchment. The annual rainfalls recorded by the gauges are the following: 102.3cm, 181.12cm 123.4cm, 43.5cm, 112.23cm, 88.89cm, 75.5cm, 69.69cm, 97.87cm, 111.11cm. For an 8% error in the estimation of mean rainfall, calculate the optimum number of stations in the catchment.
