Please give detailed calculation.
Design the outlet structure (box inlet and pipe sizes) of the mechanical spillway for a reservoir using the inflow hydrograph giving below. The runoff depth is 80.8 mm and the peak runoff rate is 6.12 m/s. The maximum allowable elevation of the flood spillway crest is 30.2 m. The reservoir has a watershed area of 50 ha. The box-inlet has a weir coefficient of 1.7, and the length of the pipe is 34 m long with Ke=1.0 and n=0.014. The elevation of the crest of the box inlet is 26.8 m and elevation of the center of the pipe at its outlet is 25.6 m. The cumulative storage available at each 0.6-meter stage above the crest is 0.06, 0.17, 0.41, 0.76, 1.32, 2.10, and 3.22 ha.m.
