A developer wants to develop a 12 ha site (IDF curves for the site are shown below). You are required to estimate the change in peak discharge from this catchment for a 1 in 20 AEP design storm using the Rational Method.
Existing catchment (pre-development condition): Dense bushland, low soil permeability. Tc =25 min.
Proposed development (post-development condition): Residential land uses, medium density, lot sizes >450 and <600 m2(fraction impervious =0.80). Tc =15 min.
Determine the peak discharge for the existing catchment (pre-development condition). Express your answer in m3/s in the box below. Please do not show any work or attach any files to your response as these will not be marked.
