Question: ( a ) ( p t s ) Determine the average rainfall excess ( in inces ) in the area shown in the sketch for

(a)(pts) Determine the average rainfall excess (in inces) in the area shown in the sketch for a 60-min duration storm event with a 10-yr return period. The CN for the pasture area is 50 and for the city business area is 95. The rainfall intensity formula is given below
Rainfall intensity =I=cTde+f( I is in in ?hr,Td is duration in minutes)
where c=62.5,e=0.89 and f=9.10.
(b)) Determine the lag time (in min).
(c)(10pts) Determine the diameter of the fully filled culvert at the outlet of the area, given that the culvert's slope is 0.1% and the Manning's roughness coefficient is 0.012. Unit conversions are provided in the formula sheet. Note; To determine the design flow rate of the culvert, assume a triangular hydrograph.
