Answer:
33.56 ft^3/sec.in
Explanation:
Duration = 6 hours
drainage area = 185 mi^2
constant baseflow = 550 cfs
Derive the unit hydrograph using the inverse procedure
first step : calculate for the volume of direct runoff hydrograph using the details in table 2 attached below
Vdrh = sum of drh * duration
= 29700 * 6 hours ( 216000 secs )
= 641,520,000 ft^3.
next step : Calculate the volume of runoff in equivalent depth
Vdrh / Area = 641,520,000 / 185 mi^2
= 1.49 in
Finally derive the unit hydrograph
Unit of hydrograph = drh / volume of runoff in equivalent depth
= 50 ft^3 / 1.49 in = 33.56 ft^3/sec.in
