Part 2: Hydrograph Separation
A small watershed has an area of 2km2. The hydrograph below shows the response following a half-hour rainfall event (at a rate of 10mmhr). You will use the simplified hydrograph below to answer the following questions.
a. What is the total rainfall depth that fell in the storm in mm ?(2 pts)
b. What is the rainfall volume that fell on the watershed in m3?(2 pts )
5.0mm|1(mm)1,.000(mm)|0.0050m
c. What is the baseflow discharge in m3s?(2 pts )
0.005ms
d. What is the total stormflow volume in m3 for the stream due to the rainfall event
above? (Hint 1: You will calculate the area under curve for the stormflow peak. Hint 2:
The area for a triangle is (base*height)/2. Hint 3: Keep track of your units when you
calculate the area.)(4 pts)
e. What is the stormflow discharge per unit area (i.e. equivalent water depth of rainfall
excess) for this watershed in mm?(2 pts)
f. What proportion of the precipitation that falls on the land surface ends up as stormflow
in this watershed? (3 pts)
g. At the peak of this storm hydrograph, what is the discharge generated per mm of
effective rain? (Unit should be m3s?mm)(3 pts)
