The monthly discharge volumes in million m3 for period of 24 months recorded at stream gauging site are: 3, 6, 16, 30, 18, 15, 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 1, 2, 5, 17, 28, 20, 15, 12, 7, 5, 4, 3 and 2. Determine size of reservoir proposed at the gauging site if it is to maintain an assured supply of 8.33 million m3 per month. The water year may be taken as June-May.

A flow net is to be plotted for homogeneous earthen dam of height 22m and free board 2.0 m. The results obtained are:
Number of potential drops = 10
Number of flow channels = 4
The dam has horizontal filter of 30 m at downstream end and coefficient of permeability of dam material is 5× 10-4 cm/sec. Calculate the discharge per metre run of dam.
