Test: Hydrology & Irrigation- 1 - Question 13

A triangular DRH due to a storm has a time base of 80 h and a peak flow of 50 m3/s occurring at 20 h from the start. If the catchment area is 144 km2, then the rainfall excess in the storm is ________ cm.


Detailed Solution for Test: Hydrology & Irrigation- 1 - Question 13

(Area under DRH) = (Rainfall Excess) x (Catchment Area)

Area under DRH = Area of triangle = 0.5 x Peak Flow (in m3/s) x Time Base (in seconds)
= 0.5 x 50 x 80 x 60 x 60 = 72 x 105 m3
Catchment Area = 144 km2 = 144 x 106 m2
(Area under DRH) = (Rainfall Excess) x (Catchment Area)
Therefore, Rainfall excess = (72 x 105)/ (144 x 106) = 0.05 m = 5cm
