    Solution: Excess Rain, in

    Uploaded by

    The document provides a step-by-step solution to using a unit hydrograph to determine the direct runoff hydrograph for a 4-hour storm with excess rainfall amounts provided in a table. It first tabulates the unit hydrograph values and calculates the direct runoff multipliers for each 2-hour period of rainfall. It then determines the start and end times for each partial hydrograph and sums their contributions at each time step to obtain the total runoff hydrograph, which is checked by plotting the results.

    Example 9.

    3
    Using the derived 2-hr unit hydro graph in Table 9.3, determine the direct runoff
    hydrograph for a 4-hr storm having the following excess rain amounts:

    Hour 1 2 3 4
    Excess rain, in. 0.7 0.7 1.2 1.2

    Solution
    1. Tabulate the unit hydro graph at intervals of the selected time interval, /:"t,as
    shown in Table 9.4.
    2. Determine the correct DR multiplier for each X-hr interval. Because X is
    2 hours for this example, the first two hours of the storm produce a total net
    rain of 1.4 inches. Similarly, the last two hours of the storm produce
    2.4 inches of net rain.

    3. Determine the correct start and end times for each of the two hydrographs
    and tabulate the contribution of the l.4-inch and 2.S-inchrains at the appro-
    priate lag times. Because the second X-hr storm started at t = 2 hours, runoff
    for this storm cannot begin until t = 2 hours as shown in Table 9.4.
    4. Add the contributions at each time to determine the total runoff hydro-
    graphs for the 4-hr storm.
    5. Check the tabular solution by plotting each of the two hydrographs and sum
    the ordinates at each t, as shown in Fig. 9.12.
