Question: Consider the following discrete triangular unit hydrograph ( u ) representing the response of a small watershed to a unit impulse of rainfall: Assignment 2

Consider the following discrete triangular unit hydrograph (u) representing the response of
a small watershed to a unit impulse of rainfall:
Assignment 2
The watershed experiences a storm event with the following discrete hyetograph obtained
via the alternating block method (p) :
The downstream hydrologic response (discharge in cfs) is given by the discrete convolution
of the unit hydrograph with the rainfall input:
Qn=m=1npmun-m+1
Where Qn is the discharge at time index n,pn is the precipitation at time index n, and
un is the unit hydrograph at time index n. Compute the output Qn for each 10-minute
time interval in the first 100 minutes (i.e. compute Q1,Q2,Q3,dots,Q10). Plot the resulting
discrete discharge hydrograph.
Consider the following discrete triangular unit
