Calculation of Catchment Area
Given data:
Unit hydrograph U1 of catchment area = 250 km2
Peak discharge of U1 = 40 m3/s
Unit hydrograph U2 of catchment area = unknown
Peak discharge of U2 = 80 m3/s
Base width of U1 and U2 = 3 hours
To calculate the catchment area of U2, we can use the following formula:
A2 = (Q2/Q1) * (A1)
Where,
A2 = catchment area of U2
Q1 and A1 = catchment area and peak discharge of U1, respectively
Q2 = peak discharge of U2
Substituting the values in the formula, we get:
A2 = (80/40) * (250)
A2 = 500 km2
Therefore, the catchment area which U2 refers to has an area of 500 km2.
