Problem No.1: Sensitivity: LNT Construction Internal Use

The document provides yearly maximum rainfall data from 1987-2016 for one catchment and 1995-2016 for another. It also provides details on the catchment characteristics. The problems ask to compute the 2yr, 5yr, 10yr, 20yr, 50yr and 100yr return period floods for each catchment using the rational method. Additionally, maximum flood discharge data from 1951-1980 and 1973-2012 are given for two other catchments/rivers and the problems ask to estimate the 50yr, 100yr and 150yr floods.
