Hydrographs - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Contrasting Urban and Rural Hydrographs

Hydrographs in urban and rural areas exhibit distinct characteristics due to differences in land use and infrastructure. Urban hydrographs typically display steeper rising and falling limbs, shorter lag times, and higher peak discharge rates compared to rural hydrographs, which have gentler slopes a

Understanding the Recession Baseflow Method in Hydrology

Recession Baseflow Method is a technique used in hydrology to model hydrographs' recession curve. This method involves parameters like Initial Discharge, Recession Constant, and Threshold for baseflow. By analyzing different recession constants and threshold types such as Ratio to Peak, one can effe

Understanding Baseflow Modeling in HEC-HMS

Baseflow in HEC-HMS plays a crucial role in modeling runoff volume, consisting of groundwater flow components like interflow and baseflow. Different approaches are used to model baseflow, with HEC-HMS currently incorporating conceptual methods. The response times for interflow and baseflow differ, i

Understanding Hyetograph, Runoff, and Hydrograph in Hydrology

A hyetograph represents rainfall intensity over time, crucial for predicting extreme floods. Runoff is the unevaporated portion of rainfall that flows into rivers or oceans, while hydrograph displays discharge variations over time in streams. Surface runoff, interflow, and base flow are key classifi
