The following stream flow versus stage information was collected at a stream gauging station during a storm event.

(a) Plot a rating curve with the discharge plotted on the abscissa.
(b) During a storm event some time later, the following stages were recorded. Plot a hydrograph (discharge vs. time on the abscissa) of the storm event using the rating curve. What was the peak flow rate during the storm?
