An urban catchment has an area of 0.85 km². The slope of the catchment is 0.006
and the maximum length of travel of water is 950 m. The maximum depth of rainfall
with a 25 year return period is as shown:
Duration (min)
5 10
20
30
Rainfall (mm)
17 26 40 50 57
40 60
62
If a culvert for drainage at the outlet of this area is to be designed for a return period
of 25 years, estimate the required peak-flow rate by assuming the runoff coefficient
of 0.3
