If in the above stonn the total rainfall were 9.5 cm in the same duration of & hours, the flood peak would have been larger by (ay 35.7% (b) 40% {c) 50% (d) 20% For a catchment with an area of 360 km? the equilibrium discharge of the S-curve ob- tained by summation of 4-h unit hydrograph is (a) 250 mis (b) 90 mis (©) 278 mis (d) 360 m/s Fora catchment ofarea A an S-curve has been derived by using the D-hour unit hydrograph. which has a time base 7: In this S-curve (2) the equilibrium dischange is independent of D (b) the time at which the S-curve attains its maximum value is equal to 7 (C) the time at which the S-curve attains its maximum value is equal to D (¢} the equilibrium dischange is independent of A An IUH isa direct runoff hydrograph of (a) of one cm magnitude due to rainfall excess of 1-h duration (b} that occurs instantaneously due to a rainfall excess of I-h duration (©) of unit rainfall excess precipitating instantaneously over the catchment (@)_ occurring at any instant in long duration An instantaneous unit hydrograph is hydnograph of (a) unit duration and infinitely small rainfall exeess, (b} infinitely small duration and of unit rainfall excess (©) infinitely small duration and of unit rainfall excess of an infinitely small area (d} unit rainfall excess on infinitely small area 260 Visit : Civildatas.blogspot. o 5 @
