Question: II . Unit - Hydrograph ( de - convolution and application ) ( 2 0 % ) According to a historical event, a storm

II. Unit-Hydrograph (de-convolution and application)(20\%)
According to a historical event, a storm had three successive 6-hr interval of rainfall magnitude of \(3.0,5.0\), and 4.0 cm , respectively. Assuming \(\emptyset \)-index of \(0.20\mathrm{~cm}/\mathrm{hr}\). In the outlet of this watershed, we find the observed streamflow is as following table,
(a) From your observation, which part of the streamflow hydrograph is the baseflow, and which part is the direct runoff?
(b) Please determine the 6-hr unit hydrograph.
(c) Please estimate the area of this watershed.
(d) Now we have a rainfall forecast as following,
Please determine the flood hydrograph for this coming storm. (Note: I guess you need using S-curve to determine the 3-hr unit hydrograph, rather than using the 6-hr unit hydrograph directly. Can you also tell me why?)
(e) If you are the person in charge, and informed that the levee capacity in the outlet of watershed is 400 cms . When will you issue a mandatory evacuation order to ask residents "they" to evacuate? Tell me your reason/consideration/concern.(Note: You may have to estimate the time for evacuation according to the area of watershed.)
II . Unit - Hydrograph ( de - convolution and
