Question No 01

Flow of River Chenab at Marala barrage varied linearly from 34 cumec to 283 cumec in 10 hours
during a flood. The flow variation at Khanki barrage was observed to be from 28 to 255 cumec
during above mention time. Assuming no lateral flow in or out of the reach, find out the rate of
change of storage of the river reach between Marala and Khanki. What is total change in storage
of the reach in this period?

Question No 02

At a weather station, the air pressure is measured to be 101.1 kPa, the air temperature is 22 oC
and the dew point temperature is 18 oC. Calculate the corresponding
a. Vapor pressure b. Relative humidity
c. Specific humidity d. Absolute humidity

Hint: The following formulas are important and may be used.

The value of e for air temperature t may be obtained by the relation

(ew- e) = γ (t - tw)
Where γ = psychrometer constant,
and its value is 0.660 when e is measured in milli bar/ 0C
and 0.485 when it is measured in units of mm of Hg.
