(6) (2) Estimate the peak flow and the time of its occurrence in a flood created by a 8 hr storm, which results in 2.5 cm of effective rainfall during the first 4 hours and 3.75 cm of effective rainfall during the second 4 hours. Assume the base flow as negligible. (2) Or (b) (i) State the assumptions in unit hydrograph theory.

(6) (ii) The 50 year and 100 year flood have been estimated to be 660 m^3/s and 740 m^3/s from the available data of annual flood peaks of a small stream for a period of 35 years using Gumbels method. Estimate the 200 year flood in the stream. (10) Or (b) (i) Explain briefly about various Flood control measures. (6) (ii)Reach and derive the outflow hydrographic.
