I. Solve the FF Problem:

1. The storage in a reach of a river is 15 acre-ft at a given time. Determine the storage in
acre-ft after 2 hrs if the average rates of inflow and outflow during the 1 st hr are 700 cfs
and 630 cfs; 2nd hr are 630 cfs and 670 cfs, respectively.
SOLUTION:
700 + 630

2. Rainfalls at an average intensity of 7 in / day ( inches /day ) over a 700-acre area for 7
days.
a.) Determine average rate of rainfall in cfs ( ft³/s).
b.) Determine the 7-day volume of rainfall in acre-ft.
c.) Determine the 7-day volume of rainfall in inches of equivalent depth over the 700-
acre area.

3. The watershed of a stream has 3 raingauge stations inside the basin. When Thiessen
Polygons were constructed three more stations lying outside the watershed were found
to have weightages. The details of Thiessen Polygons surroundings each raingauges in
the month of June 2015 are given below:
Raingauge Station A B C D E F
Thiessen Polygon Area (Km² ) 720 1380 1440 1040 419 1456
Recorded Rainfall (mm.) 153 145 137 128 99 101
During June 2015 Stations B, D, and E are outside the watershed. Determine the average
depth of rainfall on watershed in June 2015 by
a.) Arithmetic Mean Method b.) Thiessen Mean method.
SOLUTION:
A, C, F is in the inside of the catchment area while B, D, E is placed outside the catchment area.

𝑃𝑎𝑣𝑒 = = 𝟏𝟐𝟖. 𝟒𝟔𝒎𝒎
720+1380+1440+1040+419+1456
II. Multiple Choice:

1. The diameter of a raingauge collecting area connected to the funnel is
a.) 4 in. b.) 5 in. c.) 6 in. d.) 7 in.
2. The type of recording raingauge also known as float – type – gauge is
a.) Tipping Bucket b.) Weighing Bucket c.) Natural-Syphon d.) Radar
3. Form of Precipitation that has a fine sprinkle of numerous water droplets is
a.) Snowfall b.) Hail c.) Drizzle d.) Fog
4. It is the plotted cumulative annual rainfall vs cumulative ten station average.
a.) Double Mass Curve b.) Hyetograph c.) Mass Curve of Rainfall d.) Bar Chart
5. Method of Calculating Areal Rainfall Averages based on interpolation between gauges,
closely resembles the calculation of contours in surveying.
a.) Arithmetic Mean Method b.) Thiessen Mean Method c.) Isohyetal Mean
method d.) None of the above.
III. Differentiate between Transpiration and Guttation. ( Give at least four differences)
TRANSPIRATION GUTTATION
Occurs in the stromata and lenticels Occurs in hydathodes
Water vapor Liquid water
High temperature Low temperature
Favorable in dry conditions Challenged in dry conditions
