Answer the following questions

1- Define Hydrology
"Hydrology is the science that deals with the waters of the earth, their
occurrence, cycle, distribution, their chemical and physical properties, and
their reaction with their environment.

2- What is the Hydrology Engineer Role?


1-Supply water to a city
2-Redirect rivers and safeguard coastal areas
3-Dam construction and maintenance
4-Flood mitigation and urban drainage
5-Treat wastewater

3-Write what do you knowmabout hyetograph curve.


It is a bar graph showing the intensity of rainfall with respect to time.
It is useful in determining the maximum intensities of rainfall during a
particular storm.

4-list five basic data required for hydrological studies ?


The basic hydrological data required are:
 Precipitation records
 Stream-flow records
 Seasonal fluctuation of ground water table or piezometric heads
 Evaporation data
 Cropping pattern, crops and their consumptive use
 Water quality data of surface streams and ground water
 Geomorphologic studies of the basin, like
(area, shape and slope of the basin, mean and median elevation)
 Characteristics of the basin; stream density and drainage density.

5- Discus that "lithology of the rocks affects the hydrological


response".
-Impermeable rock does not allow water to pass through it so a catchment
area made of impermeable rock will have a lot of run-off.
-A catchment area made from permeable rock will allow infiltration to occur,
reducing run-off and increasing the lag time,so discharge in the river will be
reduced.
6- What is Kirpich Method?
The Kirpich method is limited to watershed with a drainage area of about
200 acres.
For small drainage basins that are dominated by channel flow, the Kirpich
equation can be used
Tc=0.0078(L^3/h)^0.385
7-What is the three components of hydrograph curve(with little
details)?
1. Rising Limb : It is portion of the hydrograph curve. it rises slowly in the
early stage of the flood but more rapidly toward the end portion.
2. Peak: Peak of hydrograph is the maximum amount of water entering
river.
3. Falling Limb: it represents the withdrawal of water from the
storage built up during the early phase of hydrograph.
It extends from the peak to the beginning of the natural groundwater
flow.

8-What is the time of concentration (tc) of a watershed?


is defined to be the time required for runoff water to travel from the
most hydraulically distant part of a watershed to the outlet.

9-Define PMP.
Probable maximum precipitation(PMP): is defined as the estimated greatest
depth of the precipitation for a given duration that is possible physically and
reasonably characteristic over a particular geographic region at a certain
time of year.

10-When rational method can be used and what is its quation?


It is an indirected method to determine the value of run-off.It is used for a
very small watershed.
Q=Cu.C.i.A

11-Define unit hydrograph


The unit hydrograph represents the run off from one inch of effective
rainfall and over acertian time span

12-Write the formula of the designed rainfall intensity, and calculate it


when the rainfall mean =25 mm/hr , standard deviation= 10.5 mm/hr and
the return period=5 years.
