Problem 4- Unit Hydrograph (25 Points)
A measured hydrograph for the Little Cuyahoga River emptying into the Cuyahoga River is approximately triangular in shape. The peak discharge occurs 2 hours into the storm (storm duration of 2 hours) and measures 350cfs. There is no base flow before the event and the discharge drops to zero 6 hours AFTER the peak. The drainage area is 650 acres (1 acre =43,560ft2).
(a) Sketch the storm hydrograph [5 Points]
(b) Sketch the unit hydrograph [5 Points]
(c) During the storm Dick Goddard reported there was 3 inches of rain measured in the area. If the drainage area is predominantly grassy area )=(0.3 does this make sense? If not, are his gauges measuring too high or too low? Show calculations to support your answer of too high or too low [5 Points]
(d) If a 2-hourstorm produces 3 inches of runoff is immediately followed by a 2-hour storm of 2.5 inches of runoff, what is the storm peak discharge (in cfs)?[10 Points]
b)A1=12(2hr*x(6)hr)-3006s
