1. The ordinates of the one hour unit hydrograph of a basin at one-hour intervals are 5,8,5,3,
and 1 m3/sec. Determine (a)the watershed area represented by this unit hydrograph and
(b) the ordinates of a 2 hour unit hydrograph for the catchment using the S-curve method.
2. Two consecutive storm events, each producing 1 cm of excess rainfall over a duration of
6 hours, occur successively. Determine the resulting ordinates of the flood hydrograph,
considering a constant base flow of 10 m3/sec. The ordinates of a 6-hour unit hydrograph
are provided. Additionally, compute the 12-hour unit hydrograph and evaluate the peak
shift.

3. Given the ordinates of a 4 h unit hydrograph as below derive the ordinates of a 12 h unit
hydrograph for the same catchment.
Also derive the ordinates of a 2 h unit hydrograph for the same catchment.

If the value of ∅- index is 3 cm/hr, estimate the net runoff, the total rainfall and the value
of W-index.
