Question: Given the following data for a 5 0 - year storm, estimate the peak rate of flow to a culvert entrance. Consider the rainfall intensity

Given the following data for a 50-year storm, estimate the peak rate of flow to a culvert entrance. Consider the rainfall intensity-duration-frequency curves of Figure 7.7 applicable. The contributing upstream drainage area is 45 acres. The overland flow distance is 180 feet and the average land slope is 2.5%. The land use of the overland flow portion of the drainage area is lawns, sandy soil. The land use for the drainage basin is 75% residential, single-family units and 25% lawns, sandy soil with an overall average slope of about 2.7%. A channel leading to the culvert is 1900 feet long with a slope of 0.012 ft/ft. The grassed channel is trapezoidal with a bottom width of 5 feet and side slopes of 2 feet vertical to 1 feet horizontal.
