Example-6
The 1-h 1 mm unit hydrograph for a small catchment is given in the Table below.
 Determine the peak of the hydrograph that should result from the following storm:
• 5 mm in the first hour,
• no rain in the next 30 min, and
• 8 mm of rain in the next final hour.
• Assume a loss rate of 3 mm/h in the first hour and 2 mm/h for the remainder of the
storm

Example-7
An acceptable 1-h unit hydrograph (10 mm) has been derived for a catchment. Its
ordinates are shown in Table.
 What is the approximate area of the catchment?
 Determine the peak flow that would result from a storm whose effective rainfall,
assumed over the whole catchment, is given in Table
