[17 pts] Rational Method: A storm drain system is shown in Figure below
For the flow conditions indicated,
a. determine the time of concentration using Figure in page 7 showing average velocity of overland flow as a function of slope and land cover (from U.S.SCS 1975b)
b. determine the peak flow at the outlet ditch (Point C) by the rational method, assuming the 5-year rainfall intensity is given by 250(tc+30), where tc is in minutes and i is in/hr.
c. If the duration of runoff is 2 times the time of concentration, estimate the runoff volume (ac-ft) and depth of runoff (in) assuming a triangular hydrograph. 1 acre =43560ft2
