Q2. In water-resources engineering, the sizing of reservoirs depends on accurate estimates of water flow in the river that is being impounded. For some rivers, long-term historical records of such flow data are difficult to obtain. In contrast, meteorological data on precipitation is often available for many years past. Therefore, it is often useful to determine a relationship between flow and precipitation. This relationship can then be used to estimate flows for years when only precipitation measurements were made. The following data are available for a river that is to be dammed: Precipitation, cm|88.9 108.5 104.1139.7 127 94 116.8 99.1 Flow, m3/s 14.6 16.7 15.3 23.2 19.5 16.1 18.1 16.6 (a) Plot these data. (b) Fit a straight line to these data with linear regression. Superimpose this line on your plot. (c) Use the best-fit line to predict the annual water flow if the precipitation is 120 cm.

Problem 4: Approximating Discharge from Velocity Consider steady flow in a stream d = 0.50 m deep and w = 3.0 m wide ("into the page"): Part A Part B h X X The velocity distribution is u = Umax(1- h²/d²), where Umax = 0.20 m/s. A few sample values are shown in the following table: 0.25 h[m] 0 u [m/s] 0.20 0.15 ▼ Part A On the figure, sketch the velocity profile using the equation. No need to calculate points. Part B On the figure, sketch an approximate velocity profile, with an upper area and a lower area. Plot the average velocity for the upper area and the lower area (hint, recall the wedding cake). Part C Using your approximation, calculate the discharge Q [m³/s]. Part D Using your approximation, calculate the average velocity V[m³/s].
A 30 g/l solution of a fluorescent tracer was discharged into a stream at a constant rate of 12 cm³/s. The background concentration of the dye in the stream water was found to be zero. At a downstream section sufficiently far away, the dye was found to reach an equilibrium concentration of 7 parts per billion. Estimate the stream discharge m³/s.
