A 3-hr storm unit hydrograph is given in the following table. Find the runoff in at hours from two 3 -hour storms. Given: (a) the first 3 -hr storm has an average precipitation of 1.5 inches and starts at hour the second 3 -hr storm has an average precipitation of 2 inches and starts at hour [6]
Expert Answer
To find the runoff at t=9 hours from two 3-hour storms, we need to calculate the total runoff for both storms individually and then sum them up. For the first storm (t=3 to t=6), the average precipitation is 1.5 inches. We can use the given unit hydrograph to calculate the runoff during this period. Runoff for the first storm = Average precipitation (in inches) * Runoff factor for the corresponding time period (from the unit hydrograph) Using the unit hydrograph, the runoff factors for the time periods are as follows:(((
