A detention basin with vertical walls has a surface area of 4047 m2 . Outflow from the basin is characterized by the storage-outflow relationship provided below, wherein outflow is in m3 /s, storage is in m3 , and Δt = 10 minutes. Suppose inflow into the basin is characterized by a triangular hydrograph that increases linearly from the origin to a peak of 10.2 m3 /s at 60 min, and then decreases linearly back to zero at 150 min. Assuming the basin is initially empty, determine the peak outflow (m3 /s) that will be observed using a 10-min time step. Also report the water depth (ft) in the basin when peak outflow occurs.

Q= 0.1585*(2S/Δt+Q）

A lake has a surface area of 2 km2. During the month of June (30-day), the inflow rate (I) to the lake was 1.0 m3/s and outflow rate (Q) from the lake was 0.75 m3/s. During this period, the total amount of precipitation (P) on the lake surface was 10 cm, the total amount of evaporation (E) was measured at a nearby pan as 15 cm. (The pan coefficient is 0.7) Calculate the storage change (ΔS) for this period in...

Part I. Indicate whether true or false (T or F). ____ Storm water detention ponds typically are designed to regulate the outflow peak rate at or below a single target value, such as the pre-development (pre-land use change) peak runoff rate for a specified return period event. Detention storage alters the peak but not the volume of the outflow hydrograph. _____ Typical rating curves for weirs are concave upward.

Lake Waiua is Hawaii's only alpine lake.  It has (approximately) vertical sides and a 7000 m2 area.   Between 2010 and 2013, its depth declined from 3m to 0.3 m.    e) The soil of the lake bed has a porosity of ϕ=0.5.  After the lake drained, the soil is unsaturated and has water content of θ=0.3, and a matric potential (head) of -20m.  There is a rainstorm. After 1 day, all the rainfall infiltrates over the unsaturated soils. The cumulative infiltration (F) depth is...
