  1. A unit hydrograph is to be developed for a 29.6 km2 watershed with 4-h T2 lag. A 1-h rainfall has produced the runoff hydrograph shown in the table below. Develop a 1-h unit hydrograph (1 cm of runoff) for this watershed.

  2. The event precipitation is P = 20 cm. The runoff curve number is CN = 78. What is the runoff? Use ONLINE CURVE NUMBER.

  3. The event precipitation is P = 8 in. The runoff curve number is CN = 84. What is the runoff? Use ONLINE CURVE NUMBER.

  4. What is the PZN (precipitation zone number) (AMC) for a 100-yr frequency event in the San Diego coast? In the foothills? In the mountains? In the desert? [Refer to the San Diego County Hydrology Manual].
