Ramírez Unit Hydrographs 1. Obtain a Unit Hydrograph for a basin of 282.6 km2 of area using the rainfall and streamflow data tabulated below. Time (h) Observed Hydrograph (m3/s) 0 160 1 150 2 350 3 800 4 1200 5 900 6 750 7 550 8 350 9 225 10 150 11 140 Time (h) Gross Precipitation (GRH) (cm/h) 0 - 1 0.25 1 - 2 2.75 2 - 3 2.75 3 - 4 0.25
In this process: use the horizontal straight-line method to separate baseflow. Empirical Unit Hydrograph Derivation 1. Separate the baseflow from the observed streamflow hydrograph in order to obtain the Direct Runoff Hydrograph (DRH). For this example, use the horizontal line method to separate the baseflow. From observation of the
hydrograph data, the streamflow at the start of the rising limb of the hydrograph is 150 m3/s. Thus, use 150 m3/s as the baseflow. 2. Compute the volume of Direct Runoff. This volume must be equal to the volume of the Effective Rainfall Hyetograph (ERH). Thus, for this example: VDRH = (200+650+1050+750+600+400+200+75) m3/s
(3600) s = 14'130,000 m3 3. Express VDRH in equivalent units of depth: VDRH in equivalent units of depth = VDRH/Abasin = 14'130,000 m3/(282600000 m2) = 0.05 m = 5 cm. construction simulator 3 apk and obb download

4. Obtain a Unit Hydrograph by normalizing the DRH. android home button not responding Normalizing implies dividing the ordinates of the DRH by the VDRH in equivalent units of depth. miwuvinasosigopagadapoz.pdf Time (h) Observed Hydrograph (m3/s) Direct Runoff Hydrograph (DRH) (m3/s) Unit Hydrograph (m3/s/cm) 0 160 10 -- 1 150
0 0 2 350 200 40 3 800 650 130 4 1200 1050 210 5 900 750 150 6 750 600 120 7 550 400 80 8 350 200 40 9 225 75 15 10 150 0 0 11 140 0 0 5. Determine the duration D of the ERH associated with the UH obtained in 4. In order to do this: a) Determine the volume of losses, VLosses which is equal to the difference between the
volume of gross rainfall, VGRH, and the volume of the direct runoff hydrograph, VDRH . VLosses = VGRH - VDRH = (0.25 + 2.75 + 2.75 +0.25) cm/h 1 h - 5 cm = 1 cm b) Compute the f-index equal to the ratio of the volume of losses to the rainfall duration, tr. Thus, f-index = VLosses/tr = 1 cm / 4 h = 0.25 cm/h c) Determine the ERH by
subtracting the infiltration (e.g., f-index) from the GRH: Time (h) Effective Precipitation (ERH) (cm/h) 0 - 1 0.0 1 - 2 2.5 2 - 3 2.5 3 - 4 0.0 As observed in the table, the duration of the effective rainfall hyetograph is 2 hours. Thus, D = 2 hours, and the Unit Hydrograph obtained above is a 2-hour Unit Hydrograph. Therefore, it can be used to predict
runoff from precipitation events whose effective rainfall hyetographs can be represented as a sequence of uniform intensity (rectangular) pulses each of duration D. This is accomplished by using the principles of superposition and proportionality, encoded in the discrete convolution equation: where Qn is the nth ordinate of the DRH, Pm is the volume
of the mth rainfall pulse expressed in units of equivalent depth (e.g., cm or in), and Un-m+1 is the (n-m+1)th ordinate of the UH, expressed in units of m3/s/cm. 2. For the basin of Problem 1, predict the total streamflow hydrograph that would be observed as a result of a storm whose effective rainfall is tabulated below. Use the same value of baseflow
as for Problem 1. Time (h) Effective Precipitation (ERH) (cm/h) 0 - 1 1.0 1 - 2 1.0 2 - 3 1.5 3 - 4 1.5 4 - 5 0.75 5 - 6 0.75 6 - 7 0.25 7 - 8 0.25 As observed in the table, the ERH can be decomposed into a sequence of rectangular pulses, each of 2 hours duration. Thus, we can use the 2-hour UH obtained in Problem 1. To do so: 1. Determine
the volume of each ERH pulse, Pm, expressed in units of equivalent depth: Time (h) Pm (cm) 0 - 2 2.0 2 - 4 3.0 4 - 6 1.5 6 - 8 0.5 2. Use superposition and proportionality principles: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Time(h) UH (m3/s/cm) P1*UH (m3/s) P2*UH (m3/s) P3*UH (m3/s) P4*UH (m3/s) DRH (m3/s) Total (m3/s) 1 0.00 0.00 0.00 150.00 2 40.00 80.00 80.00

Observe that the resulting hydrographs are lagged so that their origins coincide with the time of occurrence of the corresponding rainfall pulse.

b) Column 6: Apply the superposition principle to obtain the DRH by summing up Columns 2 - 5. c) Column 7: Add back the baseflow in order to obtain the Total Streamflow Hydrograph.

3. Use the 1-h Unit Hydrograph tabulated below to predict the total streamflow hydrograph that would be observed as a result of a storm whose effective rainfall is also tabulated below. Use the same value of baseflow as for Problem 1. kukufugemuvoxujaw.pdf Obtain the solution using the S-Hydrograph method.

Thus, we need a 3-h Unit Hydrograph. Since the only available hydrograph is a 1-h
Unit Hydrograph, we need to develop a new 3-h UH using the S-Hydrograph method, as illustrated below. Observe that the S-hydrograph is obtained in 2 different ways: a) in tabular form as the superposition of an infinite sequence of 1-h UH's each lagged by 1-h; and b) as the cumulative volume of UH per unit time.
