Compute the peak runoff, Qp, for a 15-year storm using the Rational Method for a drainage basin located in Phoenix, Arizona, and having parameters as follows:
A 5 14.06 acres
Time of concentration Overland flow: average grass, 100’ long, 5.0% average slope
Shallow concentrated flow: 50’ long, 7.0% average slope Runoff coefficient
Impervious: 0.06 acres
Grass: 6.5 acres
Woods: 7.5 acres
Note: In the Arizona I-D-F curves, a 15-year storm is located by the corresponding P1value, which for Phoenix is 1.75 inches.
