(ii) A unit hydrograph (10 mm,2-hour) for a catchment is shown below.
\table[[time (h),0,1,2,3,4,5],[UH(m3s?cm),0,2,12,15,8,3]]
Using this unit hydrograph, predict the timing and magnitude of the peak flow at the downstream end of the catchment for an idealised twohour storm that has an intensity of 12mm per hour, followed by a twohour storm that has intensity of 7mm per hour. Assume a base flow of 2.0m3s
