Question: Problem 2 : Solve the above problem using NRCS TR - 5 5 method. The pre - developed area can be considered as wooded area

Problem 2: Solve the above problem using NRCS TR-55 method. The pre-developed area can be considered as wooded area in fair condition. The soil type is C and average moisture conditions prevail. The post-developed area is impervious area with paved parking, roofs, roads, etc. The 25year 24-hour rainfall amount is 2.72 inches, and the rainfall distribution is of Type II.[10]
Hint: Find the CN values for both conditions. As average soil moisture conditions prevail, CN values are not modified (dry or saturated condition). Since there is no pond or swamp area, the pond/swamp factor is 1.0. The time of concentration \(\left(t_{c}\right)\) calculated in the previous problem will be used here. Need to find runoff based on the NRCS method and \( q_{u}\)(the unit peak discharge) for the rainfall distribution type from the graph for \( t_{c}\) in hours and \( I_{a}/ P \). Find the peak discharge for pre- and post-development scenarios, the area must be in square miles.
