Exercises 2

i) The ordinates of the design hydrograph (DRH) due to a rainfall excess of 3.5 cm over 6 hours are computed using the given 6-hour unit hydrograph. ii) The resulting DRH from two successive storms of 6 hours each with rainfall excess of 3.0 cm and 2.0 cm respectively is calculated. iii) The flood hydrograph is derived using the given accumulated rainfall and storm loss rate, assuming a base flow of 15 cumecs increasing by 2 cumecs every 12 hours until the end of the DRH.

i) Compute the ordinates of the DRH due to rainfall excess of 3.5 cm occurring in 6 hr
ii)Two storms each of 6 hr duration and having rainfall excess values of 3.0cm and 2.0 cm respe
The 2 cm rainfall excess follows the 3 cm rainfall. Calculate the resulting DRH
