    The document provides 4 tutorial questions on hydrology topics: 1) The average rainfall intensity of 30.0 mm/hr corresponds to a 100-year storm event. 2) The average areal rainfall of the catchment shown is calculated to be 3.5 cm using the arithmetic average method. 3) The average areal rainfall is then calculated using the Thiessen polygon method and compared to the arithmetic average results. 4) Discharge is calculated using stream cross-section measurements and velocities at stations along the cross-section.

    Tutorial 2

    1. The average rainfall intensity for the storm event given in Tutorial 1 question 4 is 30.0 mm/hr.
    Classify this rainfall event based on average rainfall intensity if 3 hr 100-year storm correspond to
    a rainfall intensity of 31.7 mm/hr and 3 hr 50-year storm correspond to a rainfall intensity of 27.9
    mm/hr.

    2. For a catchment area shown in Figure 1 below, the precipitation recorded by gages A, B,
    C, and D is 5.5 cm, 4 cm, 2 cm, and 1 cm, respectively for a rainfall event. Determine the
    average areal rainfall for this rainfall event using arithmetical average method. (Answer:
    3.5 cm)

    3. Based on information given in Question 2, determine the average areal rainfall based on Thiessen
    Polygon Method. Compare the results obtained from arithmetic average and Thiessen polygon
    method and comment on the results.

    4. Given the stream section shown in Figure 2 below and the following measurements (Table 1),
    calculate the total discharge throughout the section. (extracted from textbook Bedient, Huber,
    and Vieux, sixth edition).
