Question 1 The storage - outflow relationshipfor a small dam is given in Table 1. The inflow hydrograph for theuncontrolled spillway of this dam is tabulated in Table 2.Determine:

  1. the outflow hydrograph from the spillway (fill the table andadd more rows if necessary),
  2. attenuation, translation, and lengthening in the base time ofthe outflow hydrograph.
  3. Draw inflow and outflow hydrographs on the same figure and showthe parameters asked in part b on this figure (draw in Excel andpaste it here).
  4. Comment on the location of peak discharge of outflowhydrograph, i.e. why is it coincident with the inflowhydrograph?

Hint: Use Table 1 values to obtain S=f(Q).
