3. Calculate the Clark unit hydrograph parameters for subbasins S2 through S11<br />

a. Using Table 5.2 or Figure 5.4, determine the adjusted slope for subbasins S2, S3, S7,<br />

S8, S9 and S10 (subbasins with average slopes greater than 200 ft/mi).<br />

Slope<br />

Subbasin ID Average ft/mi Adjusted ft/mi<br />

S2 227.8 224.5<br />

S3 222.3 220.1<br />

S7 215.2 214.1<br />

S8 201.8 201.6<br />

S9 537.3 307.0<br />

S10 438.3 294.8<br />

b. Compute the Resistance Coefficient (K b ) using Table 5.3 and area values from Table<br />

9.9. Surface type C is selected for the natural areas, and type A is selected for the<br />

urban areas. Note that A in the K b equation is the total subbasin area in acres.<br />

Subbasin S2:<br />

K b = mlogA<br />
