The return period for the annual maximum flood of a given magnitude is 8 years. The probability that this flood
magnitude will be exceeded at least once during the next 5 years is :
The following steps are involved in arriving at a unit hydrograph :
(1) Estimating the surface runoff in depth
(2) Estimating the surface runoff in volume
(3) Separation of base flow
(4) Dividing the surface runoff ordinates by the depth of runoff. The correct sequence of the steps is :

The flood hydrograph due to rainfall of intensity 1 cm/h is given by
Q = 2 - (1 + t) e-2t
(t is in hours and Q is in m3/s).
Find the area of catchment ?
The number of revolution of a current meter is 50 seconds were found to be 12 and 30 corresponding to the velocities of 0.25 m/s and 0.46 m/s respectively. What velocity (in m/s) would be indicated by 50 revolutions of that current meter in 1 minute ?
