Q1:

Pick up the correct statement from the following :

A The maximum rate of storm run off is called peak drainage discharge

B Rational method of estimating peak run off, may be used precisely for areas less than 50 hectares

C The period after which the entire area starts contributing to the run off, is called the time of concentration

D The time required by water to reach the outlet of a catchment from the most remote point, is called time of concentration

E All the above.

ANS:E - All the above.

The correct statement from the options provided is: e. All the above. All the statements are accurate in the context of hydrology and stormwater management:

  • The maximum rate of storm runoff is indeed called peak drainage discharge.
  • The Rational method of estimating peak runoff can be used effectively for areas less than 50 hectares.
  • The period after which the entire area starts contributing to runoff is termed the time of concentration.
  • The time required by water to reach the outlet of a catchment from the most remote point is indeed called time of concentration.
Therefore, option e encompasses all the correct statements.
