11.7.1
Table 11.7.1 contains monthly runoff volumes for water years 1966 to 1970 for the
Little Weiser River near Indian Valley, Idaho. Construct the flow-duration curve using the
years 1967 to 1970 and determine the firm-yield for this site.

11.7.2
Using the monthly flow data in Table 11.7.1 for the Little Weiser River, construct
the cumulative mass curve over a five-year period and determine the required active
storage capacity to produce a firm yield of 2500 ac-ft/month.

Time (no. of months)
The required active storage capacity to produce a firm yield of 2500 ac-ft/month is
9723 ac-ft.
11.7.3
Use problem 11.7.2 to determine the active storage capacity required to produce
2,000 ac-ft/month firm yield by computing the cumulative difference between supply and
demand.
