CTC 440 - Homework 14 (Peak Runoff)

1.    Determine the maximum runoff (20-year design storm) from a 53-acre watershed (predominantly heavy clay, flat lawns) near Stewart Intl. Airport (IDF here) Assume the time of concentration = 2 hours. 

 

2.    Two adjacent fields contribute runoff to a collector whose capacity is to be determined (see diagram).  The intensity for a 25-minute duration is 3.9 in/hr. Determine the peak runoff flow.

A1=2 acres
C1=0.35
t1=15 minutes

A2=4 acres
C2=0.65
t2=10 minutes
