Question: Use 3 methods to create rainfall design hyetographs for Jefferson County Kentucky Rainfall Design Event characteristics: Rainfall Duration = 2 4 - h r ,

Use 3 methods to create rainfall design hyetographs for Jefferson County Kentucky
Rainfall Design Event characteristics: Rainfall Duration =24-hr,
Rainfall Frequency f=0.01, Likelihood =1%, Average recurrence interval T=100-yr
Use a rainfall hyetograph time interval or time increment, t=2 hours.
Create a table and chart for each of these hyetograph types:
A. Constant intensity event
B. NRCS Type curve distribution (use Type II rainfall hyetograph)
C. Alternating Block distribution
Include these results:
a) Summary computation table for each method including these columns and information:
Time, Time Interval, Accumulated Depth, Incremental Depth, Intensity, % Time, % Depth
(accumulated),% Depth (incremental).
b) Create a time-line (x= time) plot comparing the 3 methods accumulated depth.
c) Create a bar chart comparing the 3 methods incremental depth
d) Describe differences and similarities between the 3 methods
e) Describe how runoff magnitude Q from the watershed is expected to vary over time
under each rainfall pattern
