LAB No. 7
The following 2-h unit hydrograph has been developed for a certain catchment:
Time (h) | Flow (ft3/s) |
0 | 0 |
2 | 100 |
4 | 200 |
6 | 150 |
8 | 100 |
10 | 50 |
12 | 0 |
A 6-h storm covers the entire catchment and is distributed in time as follows:
Time (h) | Total rainfall (in/h) |
0-2 | 1.0 |
2-4 | 1.5 |
4-6 | 0.5 |
Calculate the composite hydrograph for the effective storm pattern, assuming a runoff curve number CN = 80.
Calculate the 25-y peak flow by the TR-55 graphical method
for the following watershed data: (1) urban watershed, area A = 9.5 km2;
(2) surface flow is shallow concentrated, paved; hydraulic length L = 3,850 m;
slope S = 0.01; (3) 42% of watershed is 1/3-ac lots, lawns with 85%
grass cover, 34% total impervious, soil group C; (4) 58% of the watershed is
1/3-ac lots, lawns with 95% grass cover, 24% total impervious, 25% of it
unconnected, soil group C; (5) Pacific Northwest region, 25-y 24-h rainfall P = 10 cm; 1% ponding.
