The tables below show the hydrograph values for a region with three different zones. The first table gives the area enclosed within each zone. The zones are "nested" which means that Zone 1 can be assumed to be in the middle, Zone 2 surrounds Zone 1, and Zone 3 surrounds Zones 2 and 1(see picture).
a. Given the data below, develop and plot the Maximum D-A-D curves for rainfall durations of 2-hrs,4-hrs, and 6-hrs.(Graph the DAD curves using: 1) linear-linear and 2) linear-log)
b. For an county that has an area of 500 square miles, what is the expected (approximate) depth of rainfall for a storm with a duration of 2hrs? What about for a storm with a duration of 5hrs?
Enclosed Area Table:
\table[[Time (hrs),Zone 1,Zone 2,Zone 3],[Enclosed Area (sq. mi.),50,600,1400]]
Hydrograph information. Rainfall depth in inches.
\table[[Time (hrs),Zone 1,Zone 2,Zone 3],[2,0.59,0.42,0.32],[4,1.44,0.98,0.71],[6,3.94,1.56,0.95],[8,5.21,2.71,1.31],[10,5.73,3.63,1.55]]
The tables below show the hydrograph values for a
