Problem 1 |
Delineate the watershed
boundary with an outlet at east-west coordinate 0.0 and north-south
coordinate 5.77 on the topographic map shown in Figure 3.3a on page
106. To print a copy of this map, click here.
(This is problem 3.2 on page 169.) |
Problem 2 |
For the watershed in
problem 1, estimate the watershed area in square feet, acres, and square
miles. Provide an estimate of the accuracy of the estimated area.
(This is problem 3.4 on page 169.) |
Problem 3 |
Measure the length of the
watershed of problem 1. What is the expected accuracy of the estimated
length? (This is problem 3.6 on page 169.) |
Problem 4 |
Based on the area computed
in problem 2, estimate the watershed length using the empirical formula L =
209A0.6, where L is in feet and A is in acres. Compare the
estimated length with the measured length (problem 3). What is the
error in the predicted value, and what are the possible reasons that the
predicted value differs from the measured value? (This is problem 3.8
on page 169.) |
Problem 5 |
For the watershed of
problem 1, compute the watershed slope. Estimate the accuracy of the
computed value. (This is problem 3.10 on page 170.) |
