The assignment requires students to explore water resources engineering by defining a catchment or river basin, describing its features, and providing information on related water projects. Students must also perform calculations related to rainfall data and determine the optimum number of raingauge stations. Submissions can be made on paper or online, and must include personal identification details.

ASSIGNMENT-1

Water Resources Engineering


Instruction:
Assignments may be submitted on paper on the prescribed date of submission clearly indicating your
name and registration no. and email in the first page. Kindly notice submission after the deadline will
not fetch marks. Online text entry or pdf upload is also allowed on Microsoft Team portal.You may
also share the submission on your Microsoft class Group

1. Def ine catchment or river basin and present the schematic map with pencil /coloured pencil
(not to scale) appropriately choosing a major catchment/basin that interest you (or any basin
of your home state).
2. Describe above basin with associated salient f eatures such as name, area, average annual
rainf alls, main drain or river and associated tributaries and any special f eature such as
geography, climate conditions, soil characteristics, orientation, slope, drainage density,
precipitation distribution, shape , size, land use and land cover etc. (hint: you may ref er India
Water Portal, state water resources department, CMC, NWDA, CGWB, MoWR and related
google websites).
3. Also f urnish inf ormation about important completed/ongoing major water resources
project/canals associated with above catchment including salient f eatures and cost escalations
due to environmental issues (if any !).
4. Describe the philosophy of water budget equation along with a schematic of Hydrological cycle
showing the storage and transportation components in detail.
5. Monthly rainf all measurements were recorded as six raingauge stations f or 12 years as shown
below. The coordinates of each gauge in terms of x and y are given in subsequent table . if the
May reading of gauge G6 is missing, calculate an estimate f or this v alue using inverse distance
square weightage. (Hint answer: 154.16 mm)

6. The catchment area of a basin is in the shape of a regular hexagon of side 40 km.
07 rain gauges located one at each end of the hexagon and one at the centre
recorded precipitation of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 cm respectively. Using
Thiessen polygon method, compute the average precipitation over the basin
(Answer hint: 21.12 cm, please use graph sheet for clarity)
7. Estimate the magnitude of rainfall the probability of whose exceedance would be
1 in 10000 years from observed values of annual rainfall(in cm) from 1961 to
1985. What shall be rainfall whose return period is 1 in 1000 years?

8. Determine the optimum number of raingauge stations for a river basin which has
five stations within the catchment with rainfalls of 810, 550, 455, 420 and 365
mm. The allowable error may be taken as 10 %.

BE PRECISE AND FOCUSSED!
