Question: An inflow hydrograph is measured for a cross section of a stream. Compute the outflow hydrograph at a point five miles downstream using the Muskingum

An inflow hydrograph is measured for a cross section of a stream. Compute the outflow hydrograph at a point five miles downstream using the Muskingum method. Assume K = 12 hr, x = 0.2, and that outflow equals inflow initially. Plot the inflow and outflow hydrographs.
