Part II. Problem Solving

1. Consider a catchment area of multi land. The total area is divided into an
impervious catchment & impervious catchment. For the 1st area (A = 0.50 ha, C
= 2.0, tc = 15 min) and for the 2nd area
(A = 0.30 ha, C = 0.70, tc = 40 min). Compute for the peak discharge (Q) of the
catchment.
2. Enumerate & give a brief discussion of the 3 simple models in flood estimation
in lecture 4.
3. What reservoir capacity is required to assure a yield of 75, 000 acre ft for the
inflows shown?
