Question
A 100 ha watershed has the following characteristics
i. Maximum length of travel of water in the catchment = 3500 m
ii. Difference in elevation between the most remote point on the catchment and the outlet-65 m
iii) runoff coefficient = 0.331
The maximum intensity - duration - frequency relationship for the watershed is
given by
i
3.9770.165
===
(D+0.15) 0.733
te = 0.01941077 -0.385
where i = intensity in cm/h, T = Return period in years and)=duration of rainfall
in hours (concentration time). Estimate the 25-year peak runoff from the watershed that can be
expected at the outlet of the watershed.
