1. In a hydraulic jump taking place in a horizontal rectangular channel the discharge intensity
and head loss are found to be 4.7 m3/s/m and 6.0 m respectively. Determine the sequent depths
of the jump.

2. Route the following flood through a reach for which K = 22 h and x = 0.25. Plot the inflow
and outflow hydrographs and determine the peak lag and attenuation. At t = 0 the outflow
discharge is 40 m3/s.

3. In a recuperation test of a 3.0 m diameter open well the water level changed from 114.60 m to
115.70 m elevation in 120 minutes. If the water table elevation is 117.00 m, diameter (i) the
specific capacity per unit well area of the aquifer, and (ii) discharge in the well under a safe
drawdown of 2.75 m.

4. A 30 cm well fully penetrates an unconfined aquifer of 25 m saturated depth. When a

discharge of 2100 lpm was being pumped for a long time, observation wells at radial distances of
30 and 90 m indicated drawdown of 5 and 4 m respectively. Estimate the coefficient of
permeability and transmissibility of the aquifer. What is the drawdown at the pumping well?

5. A small stream has a trapezoidal cross section with base width of 12 m and side slope 2
horizontal: 1 vertical in a reach of 8 km. During a flood the high water levels record at the ends
of the reach are as follows.
