Q#2 Solution

1. The document provides calculations to determine the curve number and peak runoff from rainfall for different land developments and soil types. It calculates curve numbers, runoff, and peak discharge for present and future conditions. 2. Hydraulic conductivity values are calculated for three different materials using data from a permeameter test. The test measured head values at two points in the permeameter, which was used along with Darcy's equation to find the hydraulic conductivity for each material. 3. Travel times for a radioactive spill to reach a nearby river are estimated for two soil types (gravel and sandstone) based on their hydraulic conductivity values and the distance to the river. Travel time was much longer for the lower conductivity

Solve the following:
1. Determine the CN for a development on soils consisting of 40 % group A and 60 %
group D. The proposed land use is

30 % Residential which is 25 % impervious


20 % Residential which is 65 % impervious
15 % Paved Roads with curbs and storm sewers
18 % Open Land with 60 % fair cover and 40 % good cover
17 % Parking Lots, plazas, schools, etc.

2. A 1,400,000 m² watershed is to be developed. The CN for the proposed development
is 80, and 60 % of the hydraulic length will be modified by gutters and storm drains;
30 % of the area will be impervious. The average slope is 2 %. Compute the present
and future peak runoff from a 75 mm rainfall. The present CN is 70.

GIVEN:
Area=1,400,000 m2
CNpresent = 70
Slope = 2%
Modification Caused Area = 60%
CNpost-modification = 80
Rainfall = 75mm

SOLUTION:
Present:
From Table 13 − 6, total present runoff = 18.0
From Fig. 13 − 6 (flat slope), present peaks = 1.3 x 10−1
From Table 13 − 7, for 2% slope, values must be multiplied by 1.29.

Future:
From Table 13 − 6, total future runoff = 31.3
From Fig. 13 − 6 (flat slope), future peaks = 1.5 x 10−1
From Table 13 − 7, for 2% slope, values must be multiplied by 1.29.
From Fig. 13 − 9, future development′s flow = 1.20.
From Fig. 13 − 10, result of increased imperviousness = 1.40.
