Problem 5.(15 points) A suburban watershed can be divided into ?3 Bub=
catchments, with 40% of area covered by paved surface (CN=98),15% of area
covered by business districts (CN=88), and the remaining area covered by lawns
and parks (GN 61). The total area of this watershed is 5 ml , and assume an
average slope of 2.5% and a hydraulic length of 1.6 mi . Use the equations for
developing the triangular SCS Unit Hydrograph to determine:
(1) The time to peak (Cp,hr).
(2) Peak discharge (q p, in efs).
(hint: (1) ealculate the area weighted CN first: (2) the peak flow is based on the total
runoff Q=1 inch of rainfall exeess)
