Question 4. The table below shows the annual maximum flows for a range of water years. a) Determine the magnitude of the flood that may occur once in 5 years, once in 15 years, and once in 30 years. b) The current situation of this small basin (25.3 km2) is almost entirely rural in character. There is a significant residential/industrial development proposal and with climate change this could increase flow by up to 35%. Investigate the impact of development on watershed flood size and frequency. Note: Use the recommended Weibull approach for frequency calculation. water vear 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 Q (m³/s) 17.914 10.085 4.651 5.673 12.973 9.813 9.543 8.629 6.239 4.936 3.807 13.843 7.047 7.525

Annual flood data of the river Kaveri covering the period from 1952 to 1983 yielded a discharge of 29,600 m/sec and a standard deviation of 14,860 m/sec.

What will be the design flood discharge (m3/sec) using Gumbel's method? [Take n = 50 years, Yn = 0.538, Sn = 1.1193]
