CHAPTER 8 PROBLEMS
8.4 The storage-elevation-discharge characteristic of a reservoir is as follows:
When the reservoir elevation is at 101.00 m the inflow is at a constant rate of 10 m3/s. Find the
time taken for the water surface to drop to the 100.00 m elevation.
8.5 A small reservoir has a spillway crest at 200.00 m elevation. Above this elevation, the
storage and outflow from the reservoir can be expressed as
Storage: S = 36000 + 18000 y (m3)
Outflow: Q = 10 y (m3/s)
where y = height of the reservoir level above the spillway crest in m.
Route an inflow flood hydrograph which can be approximated by a triangle as
I = 0 at t = 0 h
I = 30 m3/s at t = 6 h (peak flow)
I = 0 at t = 26 h (end of inflow).
Assume the reservoir elevation as 200.00 m at t = 0 h.
Use a time step of 2 h.

8.6 A detention reservoir was found to have a linear storage discharge relationship, Q = KQ
a) Show that the storage routing equation of an inflow hydrograph through this reservoir is
Q2 = C1I 1 + C2Q2 where C1 and C2 are constants and I 1 = (I1 + I2)/2. Determine the
values of C1 and C2 in terms of K and the routing time step Dt.
b) If K = 4.0 h and Dt = 2 h, route the following inflow hydrograph through this reservoir.
Assume the initial condition that at t = 0, I1 = Q1 = 0.
8.7 Observed values of inflow and outflow hydrographs at the ends of a reach in a river are given
below. Determine the best values of K and x for use in the Muskingum method of flood routing.
8.8 Route the following flood through a reach for which K = 22 h and x = 0.25. Plot the inflow
and outflow hydrographs and determine the peak lag and attenuation. At t = 0 the outflow
discharge is 40 m3/s.
8.9 The storage in the reach of a stream has been studied. The values of x and K in Muskingum
equation have been identified as 0.28 and 1.6 days. If the inflow hydrograph to the reach is as
given below, compute the outflow hydrograph. Assume the outflow rom the reach at t = 0 as
3.5 m3/s.
8.10. Route the following flood hydrograph through a river reach for which Muskingum
coefficient K = 8 h and x = 0.25.
The initial outflow discharge from the reach is 8.0 m3/s.
8.11. A stream has a uniform flow of 10 m3/s. A flood in which the discharge increases linearly
from 10 m3/s to a peak of 70 m3/s in 6 h and then decreases linearly to a value of 10 m3/s
in 24 h from the peak arrives at a reach. Route the flood through the reach in which K = 10
h and x = 0.
8.12. A drainage basin has area = 137 km2, storage constant K = 9.5 h and time of concentration
= 7 h. The following inter-isochrone area distribution data are available:
Determine (a) the IUH, and (b) the 1-h unit hydrograph for the catchment.
8.13. Solve Prob. 8.11 K = 10 h and x = 0.5. Determine the peak lag and attenuation and
compare with the corresponding values of Prob. 8.11.
8.14. Show that the reservoir routing equation for a linear reservoir is
where a is a constant. Obtain the outflow from such a reservoir due to an inflow I = I0 + b t
occurring from t = 0 to t0 with the boundary condition Q = 0 at t = 0.
8.15. Given that n = 4.0 and K = 6.0 are the appropriate values of the coefficients in the Nash
model for IUH of a catchment, determine the ordinates of IUH in cm/h at 3 hours interval.
If the catchment area is 500 km2, determine the ordinates of the IUH in m3/s.
8.16.
8.17. For a sub-basin in lower Godavari catchment, with an area of 250 km2 the following values
of Nash model coefficients were found appropriate: n = 3.3 and K = 1.69 h. Determine the
co-ordinates of (a) IUH at 1-h interval, and (b) 1-hour UH at 1-h interval.
8.18. For a catchment X of area 100 km2, an ERH of an isolated storm and its corresponding
DRH were analysed to determine the first and second moments relative to the total area of
the respective curves and the following values were obtained:
(1) (First moment of the curve)/(total area of the curve):
ERH = 11.0 h DRH = 25.0 h
(2) (Second moment of the curve)/(total area of the curve):
ERH = 170 h2 DRH = 730 h2
Determine the IUH with ordinates at 2 hour interval for catchment X by using Nash model.
