The stream flow given in the following table was produced by a 1-cm rainfall event (total depth). The effective portion of the rainfall lasted 1 hr (from time 9 to time 10). If the watershed is 20 square kilometers, derive a 1-hr unit hydrograph for the watershed. Assume the groundwater contribution is linear from 1.4 m3/sec (at time 9) to 3.0 m3/sec (at time 17).
The stream flow given in the following table was produced
