QUESTION 2 a) Explain what is isochrone and describe how the surface runoff hydrograph is estimated in Time-Area Method. b) Tabulate the storage S vs [xI+ (1-x)Q] for the historical hydrographs at upstream and downstream of a channel reach given in Table Q2a if the parameter of the relative influence of I and Q on S, x=0.10. If x=0.22 gives the best curve relating the above relationship, find k. (Note: You may use any spreadsheet to plot graph for this purpose)

Therefore, a hydrological study shall be carried out to investigate the magnitude of flood based on the observed upstream discharge. The continuous discharge of the upstream section of the main river draining the watershed has been recorded and is shown in Table Q2b. Route the following hydrograph through a river reach for which Muskingum Storage Function parameters k = 60 min and x = 0.2. Derive the peak discharge of the downstream flood. At the start of the inflow flood calculation, the initial outflow at downstream is 10 m³/s. 120 150 31 28 6 42 420 10 28830 15 10 782636 180 25 450 10 48 16 8 51 44 210 22 480 10 240 20
