LECTURE 17 SEPT 2020

Class Test
 Steps..
• Ignoring p term find the value of b
• Value of k for single house residential distt is
0.3. equation for p is given find value of kp
• Put these values in equation to find To
• Add gutter flow time to get total time of
concentration
• Calculate p
• Find value of Qmax
 Assignment 1(b)
• Explain the methods of calculating mean depth
of precipitation over a drainage basin and
discuss the merits and demerits of each
methods.
• Explain the factors affecting evaporation from a
surface.
• Explain how will you estimate the
evapotranspiration loss from a field.
• What are the field methods to find out the
Infiltration capacity of the soil.
 Assignment 1(b) contd...
• A storm over a catchment of area 5 sq km had a duration of 14 hours.
The mass curve of rainfall of storm is as follows :
Time from Accumulated Time from Accumulated
Start (h) Rainfall (cm) Start (h) Rainfall (cm)
0 0 8 6.6

2 0.6 10 7.5

4 2.8 12 9.2

6 5.2 14 9.6

• If the Ф index of catchment is 0.4 cm/hr determine the efficient rainfall

hyetograph and the volume of direct runoff from catchment due to
storm
