Assignment No. 1 Hydrology & Water Management

The document is a homework assignment for a hydrology and water management course. It contains 7 questions that require students to: 1) Define or describe basic hydrological data and the function of hydrology in water resource development and different forms of precipitation. 2) Apply hydrological concepts like determining storm rainfall using data from surrounding rain gauge stations and adjusting annual rainfall records to account for changes in rainfall regimes. 3) Calculate evaporation loss from a clear lake given data on its surface area, monthly inflow, change in storage, and recorded precipitation.

4. 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
were 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.

5. The annual rainfall at station X and the average annual rainfall at 18 surrounding
stations are given
below. Check the consistency of the record at station X and determine the year in
which a change in regime has occurred. State how you are going to adjust the
records for the change in regime. Determine the a.a.r. for the period 1952-1970 for
the changed regime.

6. The area shown in Fig. is composed of a square plus an equilateral triangular plot of
side 10 km. The annual precipitations at the rain-gauge stations located at the four
corners and center of the square plot and apex of the triangular plot are indicated in
figure. Find the mean precipitation over the area by Thiessen polygon method, and
compare with the arithmetic mean.

7. Clear lake has a surface area of 708,000 m2 (70.8 ha). For a given month, the lake
has an inflow
of 1.5 m3/s. A 1.0 m storage change of increase in lake level was recorded. If a
precipitation gage recorded a total of 24 cm for this month, determine the
evaporation loss (in cm) for the lake. Assume that infiltration is negligible.
