Mean annual discharge(Qmean) at any point A along river where drainage basin area BA is found by assuming total depth of runoff R of every m2 of BA in a year, all flows out by point A over same water year. Annual total R(in depth units, cm) is just(P –Et);P=annual depth of precipitation & Et=annual depth of evapotranspiration. Over regions of few 100km radius, P,Et & R are generally constants. Mean annual flood Q(= 2-3yr flood Q) at point A (is greater than the Qmean at A) depends on how concentrated are flood waves that, after strong runoff, travel down the watershed before reaching point P
Along YRiver, Qmean=20 m3/s and Q2-3 yr=200 m3/s at a point A, where YRiver’s watershed area BA=500 km2. An adjacent larger river flowing nearby is the XRiver. Lakes along XRiver, but not along YRiver.
1)Give approximate values of Qmean & Q2-3 yr at a point B along XRiver, where BA=2000km2 ? If can’t give value for Q2-3 yr, estimate a min/max value it might reach.Give reason & calc.
2)What is R(in cm) in this region?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! There’ll be much hollying and jollying, but there will also be plenty…

Amazing experts and they do an amazing job!!! They haven’t failed me once !! I appreciate their services and will continue to use them till I finish my university studies.
