Question 3(7 points)
For the reservoir at the top of the figure (assuming it is 125 feet long by 35 feet wide):
a) Determine, via the Rational Method, whether the reservoir, if empty, will reach
the elevation shown during a 50-year storm in Louisville, KY, based on the
following characteristics of a drainage area flowing into it:
a. Cover based on Belmill soil, of which:
i.7 acres are open space with 80% grass cover
ii.10 acres are untreated cultivated land
iii. 3 acres are paved
iv.2 acres consists of dirt road
b. Time of concentration based on:
i. Overland flow for 100 feet from Elev. 628' to Elev. 624', with
dense grass cover
ii. Shallow concentrated flow for 1000 feet (unpaved) to Elev. 554'
iii. Stream flow via the channel in Question #2 carrying to a depth of
3.5 feet for 2200 feet to the top of the reservoir
Question 4(4 points)
If the channel in Question #2 is a spillway from the top of a reservoir, determine
