The drainage area of a watershed is 50 km2. The ϕ−index is 0.5 cm/hour and the base flow at the outlet is 10m3/s. One hour unit hydrograph (unit depth = 1 cm) of the watershed is triangular in shape with a time base of 15 hours. The peak ordinate occurs at 5 hours.
The peak ordinate (in m3/s) of the unit hydrograph is
