Problem 3: The following residential area (an engineering building as seen

on the picture) is located in Ankara. Using Rational Method, determine the
maximum surface runoff from this area for 100 years frequency. Time of
concentration is 10 min. The Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves for
Ankara are given below. For the typical runoff coefficients use the given
table.

 From I-D-F, i = 166 mm/hr

Areas :
- Area of Building = 530m2 = 0.00053 km2.
- Area of Soil = 875m2 = 0.000875 km2.
- Area of Walkways = 425m2 = 0.000425 km2
Coefficients values from the table :
- For the building : 0.9
- For Soil : 0.17
- For walkways : 0.85
Calculate Q for each area :
1 Q building = 0.278 * 0.9 * 0.00053 * 166 = 0.022 m 3
2 Q soil = 0.278 * 0.17 * 0.000875 * 166 = 6.86*10 -3m3
3 Q walkways = 0.278 * 0.85 * 0.000425 * 166 = 0.0166 m 3
Q = 0.0454 m3
Problem 4: A reservoir has the following inflows and outflows (in cubic
meters) for the first three month of the year. If the storage at the beginning
of January is 60 m3, determine the storage at the end of March.

-SolutionAt the beginning of January

= 60 m3

At the end of January = 60 +5 -8

= 56 m3

At the end of February = 56 +6 -11 = 51 m3

At the end of March = 51 +9 -5

= 55 m3

Problem 5: Rain-gauge station D was inoperative for part of a month

during which a storm occurred. The storm rainfall recorded in the three
surrounding stations A, B and C was 8.5, 6.7 and 9.0 cm, respectively. If
the a.a.r for the stations are 75, 84, 70 and 90 cm, respectively, estimate
the storm rainfall at station D.

Problem 9: At the beginning of July the surface area of the lake was 3.2
km2 and the volume of the water in the lake was 18.8 x 106 m3. During
July, the average inflow is 0.68 m3/s while the pumped outflow for
irrigation is 1.1 m3/s. At the end of July, the surface area of 2.9 km2 and
the volume of 16.2 x 106 m3
are measured. Considering the seepage loss of 37 mm through the bottom
of this lake, calculate the
total evaporation height from the lake surface in mm for zero precipitation
during July.
