Engineering Hydrology – Group Assignment 2

Using groups of 7 to 8 students, complete the following questions.

Question 1
(a) What are the factors that influence the selection of a site for a stream gauging station?
(b) Explain how the stage-discharge-rating curve for a stream-gauging station is prepared.
Sketch a typical rating curve.
(c) What are the sources of error in getting the discharge from the rating curve?
Question 2
(a) Velocity measurements are to be made at a vertical in a stream. At what height or heights
from the bed, will you make the measurements to determine the mean in vertical velocity by:
(i) one-point method, and (ii) by two-points method?
(b) The following data were collected for a stream at a gauging station. Compute the discharge
by (i) mid-section method (ii) mean-section method.

Question 3
The following data were collected for two verticals in a stream at a gauging station. Compute the
discharge in the elemental strips by (i) the mid-section method (ii) the mean-section method
Question 4
(c) The following data were collected from a stream-gauging operation in a river. Compute the
discharge by (i) mid-section method (ii) mean-section method.

Question 5
A small stream with catchment area of 70 km2 was gauged at a location some distance
downstream of a reservoir. The data of the mean monthly gauged flow, rainfall and upstream
diversion are given. The regenerated flow reaching the stream upstream of the gauging station
can be assumed to be constant at a value of 0.2 Mm3/month. Obtain the rainfall runoff relation
for this stream. What virgin flow can be expected for a monthly rainfall value of 15.5 cm?
Question 6
Flow measurement of river Netravati at Bantwal (catchment area = 3184 km2) yielded the
following annual volumes:

The withdrawal upstream of the gauging station (for meeting irrigation, drinking water and
industrial needs are 91 Mm3 in 1970-71 and is found to increase linearly at a rate of 2 Mm3/year.
The annual evaporation loses from the water bodies on the river can be assumed to be 4 Mm3.
Estimate the 75% dependable yield at Bantwal.
