Average precipitation = (2.14+3.6+13+1.5+2.6+6.1+51448+4.1+28+3.0/11 Average precipitation = 3.4 in. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS: (A) References: Viessman and Hammer, Water Supply and Pollution Control, and Gupta, Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems, 7th ed., 2005, pp. 240-241 ‘THE CORRECT ANSWER IS: (C) Reference: Metealf and Eddy, Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Reuse, 4th ed., p. 163. "Direct inflow: Those types of inflow that have a direct stormwater runoff connection to the sanitary collection system and cause an almost immediate increase in wastewater flowrates." THE CORRECT ANSWER IS: (D) References: McGhee, Water Supply and Sewerage, 6th ed., pp. 15-16, 45, and Viessman and Hammer, Water Supply and Pollution Control, Tth ed., 2005, pp. 249-255 Firefighting demand is the amount and rate of water used for fighting fires. Critical flow defines a state of low between two flow regimes. Critical flow coincides with minimum specific energy fora given discharge and maximum discharge for a given specific energy. Peaking factor is a term for the ratio of maximum to average flow. In addition, the other answers have definitions unrelated to flow ratios. The correct answer is C, peaking factor. Design flow is defined as the maximum flow that can pass through a specified structure safely. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS: (C) 64
