A direct-runoff hydrograph due to a storm was found to be triangular in shape with a peak of 150 m3/s, time from start of effective storm to peak of 24 h and a total time base of 72 h. The duration of the storm in this case was
A storm hydrograph was due to 3 h of effective rainfall. It contained 6 cm of direct runoff. The ordinates of DRH of this storm

If a 4-h unit hydrograph of a catchment has a peak ordinate of 60 m3/s, the peak ordinate of an 8-h unit hydrograph for the same catchment will be
If the base period of a 6-hour hydrograph of a basin is 84 hours, then a 12 hours unit hydrograph derived from this 6 hour unit hydrograph will have a base period of
The peak discharges in 6 h and 12 h unit hydrographs of a catchment occur at t6 and f12 hours from the start. Then
Match List-I (Name of scientist) with List-II (Contribution to field of hydrology) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:
Codes:
Unit hydrograph are generally used for
1. developing flood hydrographs for extreme rainfall magnitudes for the design of hydraulic structures.
2. extending flood flow records by using the available rainfall records.
3. developing flood forecasting and warning system based on rainfall data.
The correct answer is
The direct runoff hydrograph of a storm obtained from a catchment is triangular in shape and has a base period of 80 hours. The peak flow rate is 30m3/sec and catchment area is 86.4 km2. The rainfall excess that has resulted the above hydrograph is
For a catchment area of 36 km2, the equilibrium discharge of an S-curve obtained by 2-hour unit hydrograph summation is
