Contents preface (VII) introduction 1—37(A) Computation of Unit Hydrograph ordinates (Example 2.7)
= 83.1 mm = 8.31 cm. Therefore, the ordinates of the unit hydrograph (for 1 cm rainfall) (Col. 5 of Table A) would be obtained by dividing the DRH values with 8.31. These values have been rounded off suitably (Col. 6 to Table A). Runoff volume for UH = (2 × 3600) [0 + 20 + 47 + 62 + 35 + 15 + 5 + 0]
∴ Runoff depth from UH = 1324800/(133.1 × 106)
This runoff depth of 0.995 cm for the unit hydrograph is close to 1.0 cm and is, therefore, accepted without any more adjustment. The UH so obtained is shown plotted in Fig. 2.27 (b). To determine the duration of the derived UH, one needs to derive effective rainfall intensity hyetograph for which knowledge of φ-index is required.

Fig. 2. 27 (c) Derivation of effective rainfall hyetograph (Example 2.7) The duration of the unit hydrograph is expected to be between tpk/3 and tpk/5. Since tpk (i.e., time to peak) for the present problem is 6 hrs, the duration of the UH is expected to be tetween 1.2 to 2 hrs. To decide on the duration of the UH, one should draw S-hydrographs of
different durations around the expected range of the duration. S-curve of duration shorter than that of the unit hydrograph would be very smooth while that of longer duration would be a wavy curve. This observation combined with the expected range between tpk/3 and tpk/5 enables one to choose suitable value for the duration of the unit hydrograph. For the present problem, three S-hydrographs for the durations of 1-hr, 2-hr and 3-hr are drawn. The ordinate values are listed in Cols. 3, 4 and 5 of Table B and the S-curves are as shown in Fig. 2.27 (d) . One may adopt 2 hour as the duration of the UH.

For obtaining UH of 2T i.e., 4-hr unit duration, one may use method of superposition. For 4-hr UH, one would require to superpose two 2-hr UH’s separated from each other by 2 hrs. The ordinates of the second UH (separated from the previous one by 2 hrs) are listed in Col. 3 of Table C. By adding the values of Cols. 2 and 3, one can obtain the ordinates of DRH of 2 cm rainfall in a duration of 4 hrs. (Col. 4 of Table C). Thus, the ordiantes of 4-hr unit hydrograph (Col. 5) would be obtained by dividing the values of Col. 4 of Table C by 2. The 4-hr unit hydrograph is shown in Fig. 2.27 (e). Yüklə 18,33 Mb.
