02Take the outflow hydrograph you have just calculated as the inflow for the reachimmediately downstream. Using the Muskingum method, calculate the outflow for thereach. The first stage of your calculations requires you to use the following data,recorded previously in the reach as another storm event passed through. Note that theflow in the reach downstream of the reservoir includes a compensation flow of 1m³/s,which is provided continuously through a low-level outlet in the dam (i.e. not over thespillway). Your calculations should also include this. You may assume that this outflowhas no impact on the water surface elevation.
