A stream passes through a 200-ac Land parcel with three rain guages
The following inflow hydrograph is given for a reservoir that has a weir-spillway outflow
structure.
The flow through the spillway is governed by the equation
Q=3.75Ly32(cfs)
where L is the length of the weir and y is the height of the water above the spillway
crest. The storage in the reservoir is governed by the equation
S=3600y(cfs-hr)
(a) Using t=12hr,L=15ft, and y0=0, route the inflow hydrograph through
the reservoir using the level-pool method. Continue the routing procedure until
t=228hr to capture the recession limb. Plot the inflow and outflow hydrographs
on the same graph for comparison.
(b) Determine the percent reduction in peak discharge due to the reservoir.
