For a catchment in Bihar, India, the mean monthly temperatures are given:

Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
Temp (°C) 10 16 22 27 34 41
Rainfall $ (P_m)[cm] $ 5 3 2 0 3 15
Month Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
Temp (°C) 39 35 30 27 17 11
Rainfall $ (P_m)[cm] $ 35 38 24 2 0 2

Estimate the annual runoff and annual runoff coefficient by Khosla's method.

Q.7 Solve both questions:

Q7.1

Describe the S-curve method of developing a 6 h unit hydrograph by using 12 h unit hydrograph of the catchment.

Q7.2

Given below are observed flows from a storm of 6 h duration on a stream with a catchment area of $ 500 \,\, km^2 $:

Time (h) 0 6 12 18 24 30 36
Observed flow $ (m^3/s) $ 0 100 250 200 150 100 70
Time (h) 42 48 54 60 66 72
Observed flow $ (m^3/s) $ 50 35 25 15 5 0

Assuming the base flow to be zero, derive the ordinates of the 6 h unit hydrograph.

Q.8 Solve both questions:

Q8.1

Distinguish between the following:
(i) Aquifer and Aquitard
(ii) Unconfined aquifer and a Leaky aquifer
(iii) Water table and Piezometric surface

Q8.2

A well is located in a 25 m confined aquifer of permeability 30 m/day and storage coefficient 0.005. If the well is being pumped at a rate of 1750 lpm, calculate the drawdown at a distance of (i) 100 m and (ii) 50 m from the well after 20 hour of pumping.

Q.9 Write short notes on any four of the following:

Q9.1
a)

Water-budget method

b)

Floodwater harvesting

c)

Artificial recharge

d)

Components of hydrograph

e)

Global freshwater resources
