, Surface runoff in a watershed that empties into e) a and b only
the Mississippi River has become polluted by
sewage and fertilizers. Which of the following
environments might become polluted as a
result?
a) aquatic environment downstream of the
watershed
b) land environments along the banks of the
river
c) Aquatic environment upstream of the
watershed
d) and c only
e) a and b only
True or False: Lag time is the time required for a False
rainfall excess falling at the most hydraulically
remote part of the watershed to reach the outlet
Three types of hydraulic jumps (based on weak, oscillating, steady, strong
Froude's number) are:
Three processes that are considered hydrologic infiltration, interception, evapotranspiration
abstraction are:
Hydraulic jumps are used to.... dissipate the energy of water
Factors affecting the flow in an open channel slope, cross section, silting and couring
are:
True or False: Lag time is the time between peak True
precipitation and peak runoff.
A watershed is an area of land that drains all the streams and rainfall to a common outlet such
as the outflow of a reservoir, mouth of a bay, or any point along a stream channel. USGS HUCs
are drainage areas that drain into a multiple level hierarchal drainage system. The system is
Give a definition and establish the difference defined by its boundaries which are hydrographic and topographic criteria. Those criteria
between "watershed" and "USGS HUCs delineate an area of land that is upstream from the outflow point. Hydrologic units can accept
(Hydrologic units)". surface water directly from upstream drainage areas, as well as indirect surface areas such as
remnant, non-contributing, and diversions that form drainage areas with single or multiple
outflow points. They are only similar to classic watersheds when their boundaries include all
sources contributing surface water to a single outflow point.
