The probability density function (PDF) of the annual maximum flow for two watersheds is shown in the figure below. Using the information in the figure, find the following probabilities: 1. Probabilities: -(>700 m3/s)-(300 m3/s)-(100 m3/s 400 m3/s)2. A dam is built at the outlet of each watershed. - The spillway of the watershed 1 dam has a maximum capacity of 650 m^3/s.- The spillway of the watershed 2 dam has a maximum capacity of 550 m^3/s.3. Reliability and risk: calculate the reliability and risk for each dam. 4. Overflow probabilities: - Probability of having 3 dam failures over a period of 15 years for the basin side 1.- Probability of having a maximum of 1 dam overflow over a period of 15 years for watershed 2.(a) Watershed 1
(b) Watershed 2
The probability density function ( PDF ) of the
