N.B.: The Figures in the margin indicate full marks.

1 (a) Define hydrology- Write down the application of hydrology. What are the sources of 06
hydrologic data in Bangladesh?
(b). pxplain world water balance.

(t)(A catchment area of 140 km2 received 120 cm of rainfall in ayear. At the
outlet of the 05
tatchment, the flow in the stream draining the catchment was found to have an
average rate
of (i) 1 '5 m3ls for the first three months, 6"i; z.o io, months *d[il 3.;';3/, fb;
the remaining three months.

a. What is the runoff coefficient of the catchment?

b' If the afforestation of the catchment reduces the runoff coefficient to 0.35, what is
the increase in the abstraction from precipitation due to infiltration, evaporation
and
transpiration for the same annual rainfall of 120 cm?

(a)' In stream flow Measurement show that h" = K"l* *lwhere K": eddy-loss coefficient 04
by Slope-Area method.
(b). What are the statistical methods for estimating hydrological design? Explain
Gumbel,s 05
method for the same.
(c). Flood-frequency computations for the river Karnaphuli at Kaptai dam,
by using Gumbel,s 05
method, yielding the following results. Estimate ihe flood magnitude in
ttris river with a
return period of 500 years.

Return Period T (years) Peakflood (m3/s)

(a). What condition must be satisfied to form precipitation?

03
(b). write down the characteristics of precipitation in Bangladesh.
05
(c)' Analysis of data on maximum one-day rainfall depth at Faridpur indicated that
adepth of 06
300 mm had a return period of 50 years. Determine the probability of
a one-day rainfall
depth equal to or greater than 300 mm at Faridpur occurring
a) Once in 20 successive years
b) Two times in 15 successive years
c) At least once in 20 successive years
