    Given the following information,

    1.0
    Catchment area, A = 15 m2.
    Catchment Length, L = 4 km = 4000 m.
    Catchment longitudinal slope, S = 2% = 0.02.
    Return Period, T = 50 years.
    MAP = 719 mm.
    30 % Urban.
    70 % Rural.
    Catchment drainage is well defined
    watercourse.

    a) Runoff coefficient, C

    Considering rural part of catchment, 70% of catchment,


    𝐶𝑟 𝑐ℎ = 0.45 × 0.0.03 + 0.35 × 0.08 + 0.15 ×
    0.16 + 0.05 × 0.26 = 0.079
    𝑐𝑑 = 0.50 × 0.08 + 0.45 × 0.16 + 0.05 × 0.26 = 0.126
    𝑐𝑝 = 0.40 × 0.11 + 0.35 × 0.21 + 0.10 × 0.28 + 0.15 × 0.04
    = 0.152
    For Return Period, 𝑇 = 50𝑦𝑟𝑠,

    𝐹𝑡 = 0.95

    𝐶𝑟 = 𝐹𝑡 (𝑐ℎ + 𝑐𝑑 + 𝑐𝑝 ) × 70%
    𝐶𝑟 = 0.95 × (0.079 + 0.126 + 0.152) × 0.70
    𝐶𝑟 = 0.237

    Now consider the urban part of catchment, 30%,


    𝐶𝑢
    𝐶𝑢 = (0.050 × 0.83 + 0.35 × 0.6 + 0.20 × 0.65 +
    0.30 × 0.4 + 0.10 × 0.83) × 30%
    𝐶𝑢 = 0.175

    Hence, the runoff coefficient,

    𝐶 = 𝐶𝑟 + 𝐶𝑢
    𝐶 = 0.237 + 0.175
    Runoff Coefficient
    𝐶 = 0.412
    𝐶 = 0.412

    b) Time of Concentration, Tc
    Thus, from the Kirpich Formula,

    𝑇𝑐 = 0.0195𝐿0.77 𝑆 −0.385
    𝑇𝑐 = 0.0195 × 40000.77 × 0.02 −0.385 Time of
    𝑇𝑐 = 52.2 Concentration
    𝑇𝑐 = 52𝑚𝑖𝑛

    From the Intensity Graphs in the Appendix Rainfall


    Intensity
    Rainfall Intensity, I = 100 mm/hr. 𝐼 = 100𝑚𝑚/ℎ𝑟

    Thus, using the Rational Formula,

    𝑄 = 0.278𝐶𝐼𝐴
    𝑄 = 0.278 × 0.412 × 100 × 15
    𝑄 = 171.8𝑚3 /𝑠
    Peak Flow,
    𝑄 = 171.8𝑚3 /𝑠

    c) Hydrologic risk, J

    𝐽 = 1 − (1 − 𝑝)𝑁
    1 𝑁
    𝐽 = 1 − (1 − )
    𝑇
    1 30
    𝐽 = 1 − (1 − )
    50
    𝐽 = 0.4545

    𝐽 = 45.5%
    Hydrologic risk,
    45.5%
