A watershed of 37 km2 was subjected to a storm of 2-h duration from which the following information are recorded in Table Q3. a) Obtain a Unit Hydrograph for this watershed knowing that the base flow in the stream is estimated at 2 m3 /s. [10] b) Derive and plot 6-h Unit Hydrograph for the catchment area.           Time (hours) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8    Discharge (m3 /s)      2 15 30 37 30 22 16 12 2
A city is expanding its water resources to include extracting water from a river that has an annual 7-day low flow that follows a Pearson Type III distribution with a mean of 20.5, standard deviation of 4.2, and skewness coefficient of 1.4. The city is willing to accept a one in twenty chance that the low flow will fall below the minimum level for water extraction in the next 30 years. What is the return period for which the intake structure should be designed?Tdesign Answer = 585 yrs
Working on discharge and peak flow for hydrology. I did some data analysis and need to know what is going on with these rivers. I am confused by   Average depth of runoff produced across the basin (meters/yr) vs How many times bigger a typical flood is than baseflow, a measure of flashiness and what is going on
