Basic Hydrology Questions

This document contains discharge and time data for two stormwater runoff cases. It summarizes key hydrologic parameters calculated from the data, including: time of concentration, rainfall duration, peak discharge, runoff volume, rainfall intensity, and storage volume. For both cases, all parameters are tabulated except time of concentration and rainfall intensity, which have formulas. The conclusion is that the values differ between cases due to the presence or absence of slope, and runoff quantity decreases with increasing slope length.

2. Determine
a) time concentration:
Case 1: 225 < tc < 315
Case 2:180 < tc < 225
b)rainfall duration:
Case 1: 765s
Case 2: 675s
c)peak discharge:
Case 1: 266.7x10-6 (m3/s)
Case 2: 283.3x10-6 (m3/s)
d)runoff volume:
runoff volume = Total direct flow
Case 1:
1405x10-6 m3/s x 3600s = 5.058 m3

Case 2:
1240.9x10-6 m3/s x 3600s = 4.467 m3
e)rainfall intensity = rain gauge maximum/rain duration:
Case 1:
19mm/765s = 0.0248 mm/s
Case 2:
20mm/675s = 0.0296 mm/s
f)storage volume = base flow x 3600:
Case 1:
302.1x10-6 m3/s x 3600s = 1.088 m3
Case 2:
272.4x10-6 m3/s x 3600s = 0.981 m3

3.

Case 1
225 < tc < 315
765s
266.7x10-6 (m3/s)
5.058 m3
0.0248 mm/s
1.088 m3

Case 2
180 < tc < 225
675s
283.3x10-6 (m3/s)
4.467 m3
0.0296 mm/s
0.981 m3

We conclude that, all of the deferent value in table between case 1 and
case 2 because the slope. Case 1 without slope and case 2 with slope. We also
observed that the quantity of runoff decreased with increasing slope length.
