This document discusses precipitation, including its various forms, the requirements and mechanisms for its formation, and methods for measuring and estimating precipitation. It defines precipitation as water falling from the atmosphere to Earth's surface in solid or liquid form. The main forms are rain, snow, sleet, hail, and dew. Precipitation forms through the lifting of air masses, temperature gradients, water vapor saturation, and the presence of aerosol particles for condensation. Measurement methods include non-recording and recording rain gauges. Estimation of missing data uses surrounding station averages or normal rainfall ratios.

There are two main types of rain gauges - non-recording and recording. Non-recording gauges simply measure the total rainfall over a time period, such as the commonly used Symon's rain gauge with a funnel and receiving vessel. Recording gauges provide an automatic record of rainfall, allowing measurement of intensity. Three types of recording gauges are the weighing bucket type, which measures weight changes on a chart; the tipping bucket type, which tips to record 0.25mm of rain; and the floating type, which uses a float and syphon to record water levels on a chart. Recording gauges provide more detailed data but have higher costs and can experience mechanical or electrical faults.

This document discusses methods for measuring rainfall and runoff. It describes various types of rain gauges used to measure rainfall manually and remotely, including standard, weighing, optical, and tipping bucket rain gauges. Factors around the number and distribution of rain gauges are also covered. The document then shifts to discussing methods for measuring runoff, including using mathematical models, the runoff curve number method, and equipment for simulating and measuring surface runoff and erosion from natural and extreme precipitation events in catchment areas.
The hydrological cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Water exists in three forms on Earth - liquid (oceans, lakes, rivers), solid (ice caps, glaciers, snow), and gas (water vapor in the air). The sun drives the hydrological cycle by evaporating water from the surface into the air as vapor, which rises and cools to form clouds. Precipitation occurs when clouds become heavy with water and it falls as rain or snow. Water also returns to the air through evaporation from soil and transpiration from plants. Water running on land and underground replenishes rivers, lakes, and groundwater in a constant cycle powered by energy from
This document discusses types of rain gauges used to measure rainfall. It describes non-automatic/non-recording rain gauges like Symon's rain gauge which collect rainfall manually. It also describes automatic/recording rain gauges like weighing bucket, tipping bucket, and float type gauges that record rainfall continuously without manual measurement. Recording gauges provide rainfall intensity over time through a pen on a rotating drum, while non-recording gauges only give total rainfall. Recording gauges do not require an attendant but are more expensive and prone to mechanical faults.
Measurement of rainfall is done using rain gauges, which collect precipitation and allow the amount to be measured. Non-recording rain gauges, like the commonly used Symons gauge in India, collect rainfall in a vessel that is read daily to determine the amount of precipitation. Recording rain gauges produce a continuous plot of rainfall over time through mechanisms like tipping buckets, weighing the collected water, or tracking a float level. Proper placement and regular maintenance of rain gauges is important for accurate measurement of precipitation.
There are three main types of recording rain gauges:
1) Tipping bucket gauges contain two buckets that tip when 0.25mm of rain is collected, actuating an electric circuit to mark rainfall on a revolving chart.
2) Weighing gauges use a spring-lever balance to move a pen across a chart as rainfall accumulates in a collecting tank.
3) Float gauges move a pen as rain fills a float chamber, with an overflow siphon chamber automatically draining excess water. The clockwork chart records rainfall over 24 hours.
This document discusses hydrology and the hydrological cycle. It defines hydrology as the science dealing with the occurrence, distribution, and movement of water on Earth. The hydrological cycle involves the constant circulation of water between the atmosphere and Earth's surface through evaporation, precipitation, and runoff. Factors like precipitation characteristics, catchment shape and size, topography, and geology affect the amount of runoff from a catchment area. Accurate measurement of rainfall and runoff is important for irrigation engineering design and management.

The document discusses precipitation measurement and analysis. It defines precipitation as water that reaches the earth from the atmosphere in forms such as rainfall, snowfall, hail, etc. Rainfall is the predominant form and is measured using rain gauges, which can be non-recording or recording. Rainfall data is analyzed spatially over areas using methods like Thiessen polygons to determine average rainfall over a catchment from point measurements. Temporal variation in rainfall is also examined from hourly to annual scales to understand precipitation patterns.
The term precipitation is also used to refer all forms of falling moisture viz., rainfall, snowfall, sleet, hail etc. Rainfall occurs in the form of a pattern. Atmospheric Precipitation is a wonderful process for the whole globe to use. This module explains it in general.
Precipitation occurs when moisture from the atmosphere reaches the Earth's surface. There are several types of precipitation including rain, snow, hail, fog, dew, mist, glaze, rime, and sleet. Precipitation forms through convectional, orographic, and cyclonic/frontal mechanisms. Rainfall and snowfall are most commonly measured using non-recording and recording rain gauges, which collect precipitation and allow measurement of amount, intensity, and duration. Proper siting and placement of rain gauges is important to obtain accurate precipitation measurements.
Hydrology_Lecture note on chapter two about precipitation occurrenceGetachew563258
Precipitation is studied to understand how amount, rate, duration, and quality are distributed in space and time to assess hydrologic responses. There are three main precipitation mechanisms: lifting and cooling of air masses, condensation of water vapor, and growth of liquid water droplets. Precipitation is measured using non-recording and recording rain gauges, which measure amount, intensity, and duration. Data from rain gauges is analyzed to understand basin rainfall averages, depth-duration-area relationships, and intensity-duration-frequency.

Estimation of Rainfall by using “SSV’s Rotating Pan Rain Gauge” ModelIRJET Journal
This document describes the design and operation of the "SSV's Rotating Pan Rain Gauge" model for estimating rainfall. It consists of a water collector funnel that directs water to rotating pans attached to a wheel. As the pans fill, they rotate down to empty into a lower collection tank while making marks on a rotating drum chart to indicate rainfall intensity over time. Observations of the tank water level every 6 hours over 24 hours provided measurements of total rainfall depth and an intensity calculation of 0.54cm/hour based on the recorded depth. The design aims to provide accurate rainfall readings during intense periods by rapidly replacing full pans with empty ones.

Road construction is not as easy as it seems to be, it includes various steps and it starts with its designing and
structure including the traffic volume consideration. Then base layer is done by bulldozers and levelers and after
base surface coating has to be done. For giving road a smooth surface with flexibility, Asphalt concrete is used.
Asphalt requires an aggregate sub base material layer, and then a base layer to be put into first place. Asphalt road
construction is formulated to support the heavy traffic load and climatic conditions. It is 100% recyclable and
saving non renewable natural resources.
With the advancement of technology, Asphalt technology gives assurance about the good drainage system and with
skid resistance it can be used where safety is necessary such as outsidethe schools.
The largest use of Asphalt is for making asphalt concrete for road surfaces. It is widely used in airports around the
world due to the sturdiness and ability to be repaired quickly, it is widely used for runways dedicated to aircraft
landing and taking off. Asphalt is normally stored and transported at 150’C or 300’F temperature
7. Hydrologic Budget
It consists of inflows, outflows, and storage, presented by the following equation:
Inflow = Outflow +/- Changes in Storage
Inflows contribute or add water to the different parts of the hydrologic system, outflows
remove water from them, and storage is the retention of water by parts of the system.
Since, water movement is cyclical; therefore, an inflow for one part of the system is an
outflow to another.
As example, for an aquifer the percolation of water into the ground is the inflow to the
aquifer while discharge of groundwater from the aquifer to a stream is an outflow. Over
time, if inflows to the aquifer are greater than its outflows, the amount of water stored in
the aquifer will increase. Conversely, if the inflow to the aquifer is less than the
outflow, the amount of water stored decreases.

Example: The following table gives values of measured discharges at a stream– gauging site in a year. Upstream of
the gauging site a weir built across the stream diverts 3.0 Mm3 and 0.50 Mm3 of water per month for irrigation and
for use in an industry, respectively. The return flows from the irrigation is estimated as 0.8 Mm3 and from the
industry at 0.30 Mm3 reaching the stream upstream of the gauging site. Estimate the natural flow. If the catchment
area is 180 km2 and the average annual rainfall is 185 cm, determine the runoff-rainfall ratio.

SOLUTION: In a month the natural flow volume RN is obtained from Eq. (5.1) as
RN = (Ro – Vr) + Vd + E + EX + ∆S
Here E, EX and ∆S are assumed to be insignificant and of zero value.
Vr = Volume of return flow from irrigation, domestic water supply and industrial use = 0.80 + 0.30 = 1.10 Mm3
Vd = Volume diverted out of the stream for irrigation, domestic water supply and industrial use = 3.0 + 0.5 = 3.5 Mm3

9. Watershed- Concept and Laws
Definition- Watershed is an isolated area with a
well-defined boundary line, draining the rainwater
to a single outlet. Within the boundary a watershed
contains various natural resources such as the soil,
water and natural vegetation. Also, there is a
network of stream system to drain the rainwater.
The stream network is also called drainage system
of watershed.
9
10. Rainfall- It is in liquid form (drops) falling from the clouds to the earth’s surface. The size
of water droplets is about 0.5 mm or a little bit bigger. The rate of rainfall varies from time to
time. A light rain ranges from 2.5mm/h, moderate rain from 2.5-7.5mm/h, and heavy rain
above 7.5mm/h. Rainfall is the most important component of the hydrologic cycle which
replenishes a large percentage of fresh water on earth. Rain and drizzle are beneficial for
plants.
Drizzle- It is also in liquid form, but the size of its droplets is less than 0.5mm diameter. Its
intensity is lesser than 2.5mm/h. It contributes moisture to the lower atmosphere effective for
cooling and generating warm air mass to create a cloud in the sky. Drizzle usually falls from
low stratus clouds and is frequently accompanied by fog.
10
11. Rainfall Measurement
Rain gauge- The rain gauge is the instrument used for rainfall
measurement. The measured rainfall is termed the point rainfall. The
point rainfall is used for determining the mean areal rainfall by using
various computing methods. The mean aerial rainfall can be used for
determining the volume of rainwater received over the surface area of the
watershed by multiplying the mean depth of rainfall and area of the
watershed/region.
Types of Rain gauge
Broadly, it is classified as
1. Non- recording type; and
2. Recording type rain gauge.
11
12. Non- Recording Type Rain gauge (Simon type) - It is the most common type of rain
gauge, consists of a 127mm diameter cylindrical vessel with a base width of 210mm diameter for making stability. At the
top, a funnel is provided with a circular brass rim which is exactly 127mm to fit into the vessel correctly. This funnel shank
is inserted in the receiving bottle placed below. The height of receiving bottle is 75 to 100mm. The bottle receives the
rainfall. The capacity of receiving bottle is to measure the rainfall depth is 100mm. During heavy rainfall, the rainfall
amount is likely to exceed the bottle capacity. In this condition, it is suggested to take the observations frequently, normally
3 to 4 times a day. The water collected in the receiving bottle is measured by a graduated measuring cylinder. The
measuring accuracy of the graduated cylinder is being up to 0. 1mm. The timing of rainfall measurement is uniformity did,
every day at 8:30 Am IST. For accurate measurement, the proper care, maintenance, and inspection of rain gauge should be
carried out during dry weather.
12
14. 14
Recording Type Rain gauge: It records the information about the
start and end of rainfall events taking place. With the help of this information, one
can determine the rainfall intensity and depth of the place under measurement. The
following rain gauges are commonly used as recording type rain gauges,
1. Float type rain gauge,
2. Weight type rain gauge, and
3. Tipping bucket-type rain gauge.
Float Type Rain Gauge- It is also known as a natural siphon type rain gauge. In
India, this rain gauge is adopted as the standard recording rain gauge. The working
of this rain gauge is similar to the weighing type rain gauge. In this, a funnel
receives the rainwater which is collected into a container equipped with a float at
the bottom. The position of float rises as the water level rises in the container
depending on rainwater coming into it. The movement of the float is transmitted to
a pen which traces a curve on the rain chart mounted on a clockwise rotating Drum.
When the float rises to the top of the container the siphon comes into action and
drains the total water from the container. At this stage, the pen traces a straight line.
If rainfall is continued and water is coming into the container, then further float
rises up and the pen traces the curve. This process is continued. If rainfall is stooped
the pen traces a horizontal line on the chart. The obtained curve is the mass curve.
The view of this rain gauge is shown in Figure.
15. 15
Weighing Type Rain Gauge:- It is the most common self-recording rain gauge, consists of a receiver
(bucket) supported by a spring/ lever balance or some other weighing mechanism. The movement of the bucket due to its
increased weight because of the accumulation of rainwater is transmitted to a pen, which traces a curve on the rain chart
wrapped on a clock. The obtained rainfall record in terms of the curve is a mass curve, i.e. the plot of cumulative rainfall vs
elapsed time. View of rain gage is shown in Fig-
Tipping Bucket Type Rain Gauge:- It is a
30cm size rain gauge, used as a recording type rain gauge. US weather
bureau uses this rain gauge for measuring the rainfall. Its construction
includes a 30cm diameter sharp-edged receiver. At its end, a funnel is
provided for directing the rainwater into the receiver. One pair of
buckets is pivoted on a fulcrum below the funnel in such a way that
when one bucket receives 0.25mm depth of rainfall, it tips and
empties its rainfall into the container, and immediately the second
bucket comes below the funnel (Fig..). The rainfall measurement is
recorded in terms of a number of tips made for a given rainfall event,
which is indicated on a dial actuated by an electrical circuit.
16. Common Errors in Rainfall Measurement
Few important errors in rainfall measurement by the rain gauge are
mentioned as under,
1. In non- recording type rain gauge (Symons’s type) about 2% error is
introduced due to displacement of water level by measuring scale.
2. Possibility of errors due to initial wetting of dried surface of the catch
can or receiver.
3. The dents in catch can or receiver also introduces errors in
measurement.
4. A high temperature cause evaporation loss also signifies a kind of
errors in rainfall measurement. The errors may be up to 2%.
5. A high wind velocity deflects the rainfall to fall at the mouth of the
rain gauge, introduces an errors in rainfall catching. The research
revealed that at the wind velocity of 10mile per hour the catching of
rainfall is declined to the tune of about 17% while at 30mile per hour
it may be up to 60%.
16
18. Missing Rainfall Data
In normal course, sometime what happens, because of several reasons such as absence of
observer, instrumental fault etc there is short breaks in the rainfall records. In this condition
to fill the break the estimation of missing rainfall data is essentially required. The following
methods are commonly used for computing the value of missing rainfall data
1. Arithmetic Mean Method
2. Normal Ratio Method
Arithmetic Mean Method- This method follows following formula for determining the mean
aerial rainfall,
Normal Ratio Method- This method is used when normal annual rainfall at any of the index
station differs from the interpolation station by more than 10%. Missing rainfall data is
predicted by weighing the rainfall of index stations by the ratios of their normal annual
rainfall. Formula is given as under, 18
19. For 3 number of defined index rain gauge stations the above formula
is expanded as:
in which 𝑃𝑥 is the missing rainfall at rain gauge station ′𝑥′ of a
given rainfall event, 𝑃𝑖 is the precipitation for the same period and
same rainfall event of "ith" rain gauge station among group of index
stations, 𝑁𝑥 the normal annual rainfall (NAR) of station 𝑥 and
𝑁𝑖 the normal annual rainfall of 'ith' station. The solve example –
illustrates the procedure.

20. Mean Areal Rainfall
Average rainfall is the representative of large area, which is computed with
the help of rainfall data generated from well distributed rain gauge network
system of the watershed. The computing methods are elaborated as under,
1. Arithmetic or station average method
2. Thiessen Polygon Method
3. Isohyetal Method.
Arithmetic Average Method
This method computes arithmetic average of the rainfall by considering point
rainfall observations of all the rain gauge stations installed in the area. This
method computes accurate value when rainfall is uniformly distributed in the
entire area, as in this situation equal weightage of area is assigned to the
point rainfall data. Formula is given as under,
20
21. Problem (1)- In a watershed four rain gage stations namely a, B, C and D are installed for
recording rainfall data. The normal annual rainfall of these four stations is 75, 60, 70.5 and
87 cm, respectively. The rain gauge station A does not have the annual rainfall observation
for one year during total length of record, because of disorder of the rain gauge. Calculate
the missing value of rainfall data of rain gauge station A, if the annual rainfall recorded at
other three stations for that particular year was 85, 67.5 and 75 cm, respectively at B, C and
D, respectively.
Solution- The variation in normal rainfall data is more than 20% at all the four rain gauge
stations. In this condition, the normal ratio method for computing the missing value of
annual rainfall of station A is suitable. Accordingly, the formula for computing the missing
annual rainfall is given as under.

Problem (1)- In a topographically homogeneous watershed total four number
of non- recording and one
recording type rain gauges have been installed for recording the rainfall
measurements. The point rainfall of four non- recording type rain gauge
stations have been observed to the tune of 250,175,225 and 270mm,
respectively during a given rainfall event. Determine the mean areal rainfall
of the watershed for the said rainfall event.
Solution- The mean areal rainfall of the watershed can be computed by using
the simple arithmetic mean method, given as under:
𝑃𝑎 =

24. Thiessen Polygon Method
This is a graphical method for computing MAP. It computes by weighing the relative area of
each rain gauge station equipped in the watershed. It follows the concept that rainfall varies by
its intensity and duration, spatially. Therefore, the rainfall recorded by each station should be
weighed as per the influencing area (polygons). This method computes better for the areas
having flat topography and size ranging from 500 to 5000 km2. Computing steps are described
as under,
1. Plot the locations of rain gauge stations on the map of the area drawn to a scale.
2. Join each station by a straight line.
3. Draw perpendicular bisectors of each line. These bisectors form polygons around each
station. The area enclosed within the polygon is the effective area for the station. For a rain
gauge station close to the boundary, the boundary lines form its effective area.
4. Determine the effective area of each rain gauge station. For this, the planimeter can be used.
5. Calculate MAP by using the following formula,

in which, Pi is the rainfall depth of rain gauge station i and A is the total area of watershed.

5. POPULATION FORECASTING
Design of water supply and sanitation scheme is based on the projected population of a particular city,
estimated for the design period. Any underestimated value will make system inadequate for the purpose
intended; similarly overestimated value will make it costly. Change in the population of the city over the
years occurs, and the system should be designed considering of the population at the end of the design
period.
Factors affecting changes in population are:
increase due to births.
decrease due to deaths.
increase/ decrease due to migration.
increase due to annexation.
The present and past population record for the city can be obtained from the census population records.
After collecting these population figures, the population at the end of design period is predicted using
various methods as suitable for that city considering the growth pattern followed by the city.
40. 40
1. ARITHMETICAL INCREASE METHOD
This method is suitable for large and old city with considerable development. If it is used for small, average or
comparatively new cities, it will give low result than actual value. In this method the average increase in
population per decade is calculated from the past census reports. This increase is added to the present
population to find out the population of the next decade. Thus, it is assumed that the population is increasing at
constant rate.
Hence,
𝑑𝑝
𝑑𝑡
= 𝐶i.e. rate of change of population with respect to time is constant.
Therefore, Population after nth decade will be 𝑃𝑛 = 𝑃 + 𝑛. 𝐶
Where, 𝑃𝑛 is the population after n decade and P is present population.

1. GEOMETRICAL INCREASE METHOD
(OR GEOMETRICAL PROGRESSION METHOD)
In this method the percentage increase in population from decade to decade is assumed to remain constant.
Geometric mean increase is used to find out the future increment in population. Since this method gives higher
values and hence should be applied for a new industrial town at the beginning of development for only few
decades. The population at theend of nth decade ‘𝑃𝑛’ can be estimated as:
𝑃𝑛 = 𝑃 (1 + 𝐼𝐺/100) 𝑛
Where, 𝐼𝐺 = 𝑔𝑒𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 % ,

1. INCREMENTAL INCREASE METHOD
This method is modification of arithmetical increase method, and it is suitable for an average size town
under normal condition where the growth rate is found to be in increasing order. While adopting this
method the increase in increment is considered for calculating future population. The incremental
increase is determined for each decade from the past population and the average value is added to the
present population along with the average rate of increase.

CALCULATION OF STORAGE VOLUME-FLOW MASS CURVE
Consider a reservoir on the stream whose mass curve is plotted in Fig. If it is assumed that the reservoir is full at the
beginning of a dry period, i.e. when the inflow rate is less than the withdrawal (demand) rate, the maxi- mum amount of
water drawn from the storage is the cumulative difference between supply and demand volumes from the beginning of the dry
sea- son. Thus, the storage re- quired S is S = maximum of (ΣVD – ΣVs)
47. 47
where VD = demand volume, VS = supply volume. The storage, S which is the maximum
cumulative deficiency in any dry season is obtained as the maximum difference in the
ordinate between mass curves of supply and demand. The minimum storage volume required
by a reservoir is the largest of such S values over different dry periods. Consider the line CD
of slope Qd drawn tangential to the mass curve at a high point on a ridge. This represents a
constant rate of withdrawal Qd from a reservoir and is called demand line. If the reservoir is
full at C (at time tc) then from point C to E the demand is larger than the supply rate as the
slope of the flow–mass curve is smaller than the demand line CD. Thus the reservoir will be
depleting and the lowest capacity is reached at E. The difference in the ordinates between the
demand line CD and a line EF drawn parallel to it and tangential to the mass curve at E (S1 in
Fig.) repre- sents the volume of water needed as storage to meet the demand from the time the
reservoir was full. If the flow data for a large time period is available, the demand lines are
drawn tangentially at various other ridges (e.g. C’ D’ in Fig.) and the largest of the storages
obtained is selected as the minimum storage required by a reservoir. Example 5.9 explains
this use of the mass curve. Example 5.10 indicates, storage calculations by arithmetic
calculations by adopting the mass-curve principle.
48. 48
Example: The following table gives the mean monthly flows in a river during1981. Calculate the minimum
storage required to maintain a demand rate of 40 𝑚3/𝑠𝑒𝑐.

demand over the inflow and these have to be met by the storage. Column 7 indicates the cumulative excess
demand (i.e., the cumulative excess negative departures). This column indicates the depletion of storage, the
first entry of negative value indicates the beginning of dry period and the last value the end of the dry period.
Col. 8 indicates the filling up of storage and spill over (if any). Each dry period and each filling up stage is to
be calculated separately as indicated in Table 5.9.The maximum value in Col. 7 represents the minimum
storage necessary to meet the demand pattern. In the present case, there is only one dry period, and the
storage requirement is 1920 cumec.day. Note that the difference between this value and the value of 2100
cumec.day obtained by using the mass curve is due to the curvilinear variation of inflow volumes obtained
by drawing a smooth mass curve. The arithmetic calculation assumes a linear variation of the mass curve
ordinates between two adjacent time units. [Note: It is usual to take data pertaining to a number of N full
years. When the analysis of the given data series of length N causes the first entry in Col. 7 to be a negative
value and the last entry is also a negative value, then the calculation of the maximum deficit may pose some
confusion. In such cases, repeating the data sequence by one more data cycle of N years in continuation with
the last entry would overcome this confusion. (See Sec. 5.7, item 2.) There are many other combinations of
factors that may cause confusion in interpretation of the results and as such the use of Sequent Peak
Algorithm described in Sec. 5.7 is recommended as the foolproof method that can be used with confidence in
all situations.]Column 8 indicates the cumulative excess inflow volume from each demand withdrawal from
the storage. This indicates the filling up of the reservoir and volume in excess of the provided storage (in the
present case 1920 cumec.day) represent spill over. The calculation of this column is necessary to know
whether the reservoir fills up after a depletion by meeting a critical demand and if so, when? In the present
case the cumulative excess inflow volume will reach +1920 cumec.day in the beginning of September. The
reservoir will be full after that time and will be spilling till end of February.
Average of the inflow volume per month = Annual inflow volume/12 = average monthly demand that can be sustained by this river
= 1718.33 cumec.day.

Example:For a proposed reservoir, the following data were calculated. The prior water rights required the release of
natural flow or 5 𝑚3/sec, whichever is less. Assuming an average reservoir area of 20 𝐾𝑚2, estimate the storage required
to meet these demands. (Assume the runoff coefficient of the area submerged by the reservoir = 0.5.)

SOLUTION: Use actual number of days in a month for
calculating the monthly flow and an average month of 30.4 days
for prior right release.
Prior right release = 5 × 30.4 × 8.64 × 104 = 13.1 𝑀 𝑚3 when Q
> 5.0 m3/s.
Evaporation volume = E × 20 × 106 = 0.2 E 𝑀 𝑚3
100
Rainfall volume = P × (1 – 0.5) × 20 = 0.1 P 𝑀 𝑚3
100
Inflow volume: I × (No. of days in the month) × 8.64 × 104 𝑚3
The calculations are shown in Table 5.6 and the required storage
capacity is 64.5 𝑀 𝑚3 . The mass-curve method assumes a
definite sequence of events and this is its major drawback. In
practice, the runoff is subject to considerable time variations
and definite sequential occurrences represent only an idealized
situation. The mass-curve analysis is thus adequate for small
projects or preliminary studies of large storage projects. The
latter ones require sophisticated methods such as time-series
analysis of data for the final design.
72. RUNOFF CALCULA
TIONS
To estimate the magnitude of a flood peak the following alternative methods are available:
1.Unit-hydrograph technique
2.Empirical method
3.Semi-Empirical method (such rational method).
There many empirical or Semi-Empirical formulae used to estimate the runoff discharge from catchment area. These formulae can be classified into three
categories;
1. Formulae consider the area only into calculation, like Dickens, Ryves, Ingles and others. The formulae take forms as Q=CAn
; n exponent is
almost ˂1.
2. Formulae consider Area and some other factors such as Craig , Lillie and Rhinds (Taking velocity , and may be intensity, depth or max,
depth of rainfall).
3. Formulae consider the recurrence interval ,like Fullers , Hortons , Pettis and other.
The use of a particular method depends upon (i) the desired objective, (ii) the available data, and (iii) the importance of the project.
Above all , two methods depend on semi-empirical bases are preferable for storm design and have a wide use by the designer. The Rational method and the
SCS-CN method . Further the Rational formula is only applicable to small-size (< 50 km2
) catchments and the unit-hydrograph method is normally restricted to
moderate-size catchments with areas less than 5000 km2
RATIONAL METHOD
Consider a rainfall of uniform intensity and duration occurring over a basin in a time taken for a drop of water from the farthest part of the catchment to reach
the outlet that called tc = time of concentration, it is obvious that if the rainfall continues beyond tc, the runoff will be constant and at the peak value. The peak

99. Darcy’s Law
Solved Example – Unconfined
We have
K = 10 m/day, h1 = 20 m, h2 = 19 m, L = 1,000 mThen
q = - (10) [(20-19)/(1,000)] = - 0.01 m/day
100. Darcy’s Law
Solved Example – Unconfined
q is negative and in the opposite direction of x!!
This is correct since the flow is in the direction of
decreasing head or the direction of hydraulic gradient
or from high to low head
101. Darcy’s Law
Solved Example – Unconfined
Q = q A
What is the area of the flow?
The area is the saturated thickness. This thicknessvaries
from point to point
Take the average height [A = 0.5 (h1 + h2) W]where
W is the width of the aquifer (assume unit
width if not given; W = 1 m)
Then A = 0.5(20 + 19) (1) = 19.5 m2
102. Darcy’s Law
Solved Example – Unconfined
Then
Q = 0.01 x 19.5 = 0.195 m3/day
For the velocity
We know that
v = q/ne = 0.01 /0.2 = 0.05 m/day
103. Darcy’s Law

The area is the thickness of the aquifer which is b.This
thickness is constant as far as the aquifer istotally
saturated.

Then A = 10 x 1 = 10 m2

123. Introduction
▪ What is well hydraulics?
To understand the processes in effect when one ormore wells
are pumping from an aquifer. This for instance considers the
analysis of drawdown due topumping with time and distance
▪ Importance of well hydraulics Groundwater
withdrawal from aquifers are
important to meet the water demand. Therefore,
we need to understand well hydraulics to design apumping
strategy that is sufficient to furnish the adequate amounts of
water
4
124. Basic Assumptions
▪ The potentiometric surface of the aquifer is horizontalprior
to the start of the pumping
▪ The aquifer is homogeneous and isotropic
▪ All flow is radial toward the well
▪ Groundwater flow is horizontal
▪ Darcy’s law is valid
▪ The pumping well fully penetrates the aquifer
5
125. Steady versus Transient
Steady state implies that the drawdown is afunction
of location only
Transient state implies that the drawdown is afunction
of location and time
Thus
h = f(r) in case of steady state
h = f(r,t) in case of transient state

127. Steady Radial Flow to a Well in Confined
Aquifers
When water is pumped from a confined aquifer, the
pumpage creates a drawdown in the piezometric surface
that induces hydraulic gradient toward the well
Drawdown at a given point is the distance by which the
water level is lowered. A drawdown curve shows the
variation of drawdown with distance from the well
The induced flow moves horizontally toward the well
The flow is radial to the well

A well in a confined aquifer is pumped at a rate of 220 gal/min
Measurement of drawdown in two observation wells shows that
after 1,270 min of pumping, no further drawdown is
occurring
Well 1 is 26 ft from the pumping well and has a head of 29.34ft
above the top of the aquifer
Well 2 is 73 ft from the pumping well and has a head of 32.56ft
above the top of the aquifer.
Use the Thiem equation to find the aquifer transmissivity

135. Example [2] – Steady State ConfinedAquifer
A well is producing water from a confined aquiferat a
rate of 42943.6 ft3/day
An observation well 100 feet from the pumping well
shows a drawdown of 5 feet, while an observation well

Design
Definitions
– Pipe sections or links are the most
abundant elements in the network.
• These sections are constant in diameter and may contain fittings and other
appurtenances.
• Pipes are the largest capital investment in the distribution system.
– Node refers to either end of a pipe.
• Two categories of nodes are junction nodes and fixed-grade nodes.
• Nodes where the inflow or outflow is known are referred to as junction
nodes. These nodes have lumped demand, which may vary with time.
• Nodes to which a reservoir is attached are referred to as fixed-grade nodes.
These nodes can take the form of tanks or large constant- pressure mains.

Steps for the Hardy-Cross Method
3. Add up the flow used in the neighborhood without
fire demand and distribute it out the nodes where
known outflow is required. Repeat for fire demand.
Total without Fire Demand = 0.75 cfs Influent = 2.5
MGD = 3.87 cfs

pipes leaving the inflow node, put
the water demand for that street at
the node at the end of the pipe.

5. For the inflow node,
split the flow among the
pipes leaving that node
(there will be no
additional outflow since
no water has been used
by the neighborhood as
yet).
Inflow = Outflows

162. Steps for the Hardy-Cross Method
For the above node and the next pipes in the distribution system,
subtract the water used on the street (and aggregated at the node)
from the water flowing down the pipe. Pass the remaining water
along to one or more of the pipes connected to that node.
Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for each pipe and node in the distribution
system. The calculation can be checked by seeing if the total
water outflow from the system equals the total inflow to the
system, as well as checking each node to see if inflow equals
outflow.

163. Steps for the Hardy-Cross Method
Select initial pipe sizes (assume a velocity of 3 ft/sec for normal flow
with no fire demand). With a known/assumed flow and an assumed

167. Chemical Reactions in Water
Distribution Systems
Many of the water distribution models include
water quality subcomponents.
These are used to determine the age of the water in
the distribution system and the mixing of
water from different sources at the different
locations.
This information is used to calculate the resulting
concentrations of conservative and
nonconservative compounds in the water.
Knowledge of the fate of disinfectants in the
distribution systems is very important to
ensure safe drinking water: we need to ensure
that sufficient concentrations of the
disinfectants exist at all locations in the
system.
