Question: AGET 2 2 0 NRCS Method Homework 1 . For Weakley County, determine the peak runoff rate for a 2 5 - year return period

AGET 220 NRCS Method Homework
1. For Weakley County, determine the peak runoff rate for a 25-year return period storm for a 50 acre watershed in permanent woodland, with good soil (group C). The slope is 6\% and the maximum length of flow is 5000 ft .
2. Calculate the peak runoff rate for a 125-acre watershed which has a maximum length of flow of 3,000 feet and an average slope of \(2\%\). The watershed is comprised of 50 acres of pasture and 75 acres of woodland. The soil type for the pasture is a fair condition, open sandy loam (group B), and for the woodland it is a poor condition, clay and silt loam (group C). The return period for the design is 10 years. The field is located in Martin, Tennessee. Be sure to use a weighted CN .
3. A 25 acre watershed has a group \( B \) soil and is all in pasture with good soil condition. For a 5 year return period in Mobile, Alabama, determine the runoff volume in ac-ft.
4. What is the runoff volume in the previous problem in cubic feet?
5. Given the attached figure, determine the peak runoff rate at point \( B \) of the watershed. The elevation of B is 91.0 feet and the distance from B to C is 1200 feet. The watershed contains 30 acres of pasture, poor condition, group C and 40 acres of rough land covered in brush, poor condition, group B soil. The field is located in Mobile, AL. Assume a return period of 10 years. (Hint: you will have to find the slope using the information given.)
