Engineering Hydrology Individual Assignment I

1. From the given below are observed flow from a storm of 3-hr duration on a stream with
catchment area of 500km2
Time hr 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36
Observed Q m3/s 0 100 250 200 150 100 70 50 35 25 15 5 0
a. Assuming the base flow to be zero drive the ordinates of a 3-hr unit hydrograph?
b. By taking 2.5 cm excess rainfalls and 4m3/s base flow develop 6-hr hydrograph.
c. Drive the ordinates of a 6-hr and 9hr unit hydrograph?
2. The peak of flood hydrograph due to 6hr storm is 470m3/s. the mean depth of rainfall is 8cm.
Assume average infiltration and interception loss are 0.25cm and constant base flow of
15m3/sec. Estimate the peak discharge of a 6-hr unit hydrograph for this basin?
3. A certain watershed experienced 8.5cm heavy storm in a single day. The watershed is
covered by pasture with medium grazing, and 40% of B soil, 33% of C soil and 27% of D
soils; this event has been preceded by 5.5cm of rain fail in the last 4 days. Following the SCS
methodology determine the direct runoff for the 8.5cm rain fail event if the condition is wet.
4. Characteristics of two catchments M and N measured from a map are given below
Item Catchment M Catchment N
Lca 76 km 52 km
L 148km 106 km
A 2718km2 1400 km2
For a 6-hr unit hydrograph in a catchment M, the peak discharge is 37h from the start of
rainfall excess and its value is 200m3/s. Assuming catchment M and N are metrologically
similar, determine the elements of 6hr synthetic unit hydrograph for catchment N by using
Snyder’s method.
5. A 3-hr unit hydrograph for a basin has the following ordinates. Using the S-curve method,
determine the 9-hr unit hydrograph ordinates.
Time (hr) 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36 39 42 45
Discharge 0 12 75 132 180 210 183 156 144 96 66 42 24 12 6 0

6. From the given below


a. Find half hr unit hydrograph using the excess rainfall and direct runoff hydrograph given
below
Time (1/2) hr 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Excess 1.05 2.10 1.60
rainfall (cm)
Direct runoff 400 1650 3400 7130 8620 6220 1230 890 580 420 250
(m3/s)

b. Calculate the stream-flow hydrograph for a storm of 6 cm excess rainfall, with 2 cm in


the first half-hour, 3 cm in the second half-hour and 1cm in the third half-hour.
