A development project on a small upland watershed is shown in Figure 12. 23. The developed portion of the area is 0. 7 km² in which 21% is impervious area. The developed area is graded so that runoff is collected in grass-lined swales at the front of the lot and drained to a paved swale that flows along the side of the main road. Flow from the paved swales passes through a pipe culvert to the upper end of a stream channel. The upper portion of

the watershed with a maximum height of 164 m is a forest with B-type soil (CN = 60) and has an area of 0. 3 km2. Estimate the peak runoff of this area if the design return period of the drainage system is 25 years. Use the IDF curve of Problem 3.

Data from problem 3 An 8 km² watershed has a time of concentration of 1. 0 hour. Use HEC-HMS to determine the direct runoff for a storm (rainfall hyetograph given in Table 12. 6) using the SCS UH method.
