A. Natural
B. Convective
C. Mountain lifting
D. Orographic

A

B. Convective

22
Q

Indicates to what depth liquid precipitation would cover a horizontal surface in an observation period if nothing could drain, evaporate or percolate from this surface (Graf-Water, 2022).
A. Precipitation
B. Precipitation depth
C. Rainfall depth
D. Water depth

A

B. Precipitation depth

23
Q

The precipitation depth that corresponds to a liquid quantity of 1 liter falling into a 1 square meter of ground area.
A. 0.5 mm
B. 1 mm
C. 2 mm
D. 2.5 mm

A

B. 1 mm

Dp = (1 L /m2) (1m3/1000L)(1000mm/1m) = 1 mm

24
Q

Probability of occurence in any year of hydrologic event recurring once in 4 years.
A. 40%
B. 25%
C. 20%
D. 50%

A

B. 25%

Probability = (1/Return Period) x 100 = (1/4) x 100 = 25%

25
Q

What is the probability of occurrence in any year of a hydrologic event recurring every year?
A. 100%
B. 10%
C. 20%
D. 50%

A

Probability = (1/Return Period) x 100 = (1/1) x 100 = 100%

26
Q

Rainfall depths recorded were as follows: 8 mm and 2 mm for 8:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M., respectively on 7-7-2022 and 5 mm and 9 mm for 8:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M., respectively on 7-8-2022. What is the total rainfall depth on 7-7-2022?
A. 5 mm
B. 2 mm
C. 7 mm
D. 9 mm

A

C. 7 mm

The rainfall recorded at 8:00 AM of any day is counted as part of the total rainfall for the previous day.

Rainfall on 7-7-2022 = Rainfall at 2:00 PM on 7-7-2022 + Rainfall at 8:00 AM on 7-8-2022

Rainfall on 7-7-2022 = 2 mm + 5 mm = 7 mm

27
Q

The agrometeorological station uses electronic rain gage. The rainfall depths were recorded on
June 1, 2022 as follows: 2 mm from 6:00 to 8:00 A.M., 7 mm from 8:00 to 10:00 A.M., 9 mm from 12:00 noon to 2:00 P.M., and zero rainfall for all other times of the day and the previous
day. What is the rainfall intensity recorded on June 1, 2022?

A. 0.75 mm/hr
B. 2 mm/hr
C. 4 mm/hr
D. 3 mm/hr

A

C. 4 mm/hr

Intensity =Depth/Time, time is from 8:00 AM of current day to 8:00 AM of the next day

Intensity = (7 mm from 8:00 to 10:00 AM + 9 mm from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM)/(2hr + 2hr)
Intensity = 4 mm/hr

28
Q

Estimate the time of concentration of a certain watershed having a time lag of 1 hour.
A. 1.43 hrs
B. 1.34 hrs
C. 14.3 hrs
D. 13.4 hrs

A

A. 1.43 hrs

Using the formula for time of concentration from PAES 609:2016,

T_c = T_L / 0.70
T_c = 1 hr/0.70
T_c = 1.43 hrs
