Assignment 1 – CE 430 -2020

Question 1. Check the consistency of the record at station A and determine the
year in which a change in regime has occurred. The data are provided in attached
Excel File (Assignment 1 – CE 430).

The above graph indicates the inconsistency of the record of station A as most of the data points deviate
from the trend line and the slope of the line is not uniform. Moreover, 2001 is the year in which
change in regime has occurred.

Question 2. Using the data provided in Assignment 1 – CE 430.pptx (Power point

file), find the amount of rainfall using Inverse Distance Method.

P1 =

 17
d2=6
P3=

d3=

P = (13/17^2) +(14/8^2) +(8.3/6^2) p
(1/17^2) +(1/8^2) +(1/6^2)

P= 10.54mm

Question 3. (a) Calculate the maximum depth and maximum intensity for the
given rainfall, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 120. Also, draw the cumulative curve
and Histogram for the rainfall data provided in Excel File (Assignment 1 – CE 430).

 Maximum depth of 15 min = 1.1 inch

 Maximum intensity= 13.2 inch/hour

 Maximum depth of 30 min= 1.2 inch

 Maximum intensity of 30 min= 15.36 inch / hour

 Maximum depth of 60 min= 1.51 inch

 Maximum intensity of 60 min= 18.12 inch / hour

 Maximum depth of 120 min= 1.51 inch
