Hytograph and Hydrograph Analysis1) Hytograph: A hytograph can be defined as a plot of intensity of rainfall against the time interval, represented as a bar chart.
2) Hydrograph: A Hydrograph is a graphical plot of discharge of a natural stream orRiver versus time.
1) Runoff: Runoff is that portion of rainfall that is not evaporated or infiltratedIn groundUnitDischarge m3/s, cusecs, cumecs.
Classification of Runoff: 1) Surface runoff2) Inter flow or subsurface flow3) Ground water flow or base flow
Runoff
Runoff is that portion of rainfall that is not evaporated or intercepted.
Factor Affecting Runoff
1)Intensity of Rainfall2) Soil Characteristics of Catchments3) Topography of the Catchments4) Shape and Size of Catchments5) Cultivation and Vegetative Cover in Catchments6) Geological Condition of Catchments7) Weather Condition
i) Fan-shaped Watersheds ii) Fern-Leaf shaped Watersheds
Drainage Basin Characteristics
Hydrograph:A hydrograph is a graphical plot of discharge of a natural stream or River versus time.
1) Effective Duration:It is the time between which the rainfall rate is more than the Infiltration rate.
2) Basin Lag (tp):It is the time between centroid of the net rainfall (Pnet) and thePeak (D) of the hydrograph.
3) Recession Time (tr):It is the duration of direct runoff after the end of effective durationof rainfall.
4) Time of concentration (tc):It is the time in hours taken by rain water that falls at the farthestPoint to reach the outlet of a basin.This time is equal to the time between point of inflection and ofEffective duration of rainfall.
Factors affecting the shape of hydrograph1) Intensity and duration of rainfall2) Size and shape of basin3) Nature and slope of basin4) Land use and Land cover5) Drainage density6) Type of soil and its infiltration rate7) Lakes, depressions8) Stream characteristics.
Separation of Base flow:1) Direct run-off:Direct run-off is that water which reaches the river shortly after itFalls as rain.Direct run-off is a overland flow (surface run-off)2) Base Flow:Base flow is the initial flow of the river before the rainfall comes.
Unit Hydrograph:
A unit hydrograph is hydrograph representing 1 cm of runoff from a rainfall of some unit duration and specific areal distribution. Unit Hydrograph (UH) is defined as the hydrograph of surface runoff of a catchment area resulting from unit depth (usually
1cm)
Propositions of the Unit Hydrograph:
1) Time invariance: It means that the direct runoff hydrograph for a given effective
rainfall in a catchment is always the same irrespective of when it occurs. The direct runoff hydrograph does not depend upon the time when the strom occurs.
2) Linearity of response: It means that the relation between the direct runoff discharge
and the effective rainfall is linear. This is the most important proposition of the unit-hydrograph.
3) Fixed base period: The period during which the direct runoff occurs is called the base period.
Assumptions of Unit Hydrograph Theory:
1) The effective rainfall is uniformly distributed within its duration or specified period of time.2) The effective rainfall is uniformly distributed over the entire area of the drainage basin.3) The base or time duration of the hydrograph of direct run-off due to an effective rainfall of unit duration is constant.4) The ordinates of all the direct runoff hydrographs of a common
base period are directly proportional to the total amount of direct runoff represented by each hydrograph. This is known as principle of linearity.
5) For a given drainage basin, the hydrograph of direct runoff corresponding to a given period of rainfall reflects all the physical characteristics of the basin.
Limitation of Unit Hydrograph Theory:
1) This theory is not applicable to large areas because uniformly distributed effective rainfall can’t be expected in large area. Hence UH theory is suited to catchment area under about 500 km2.
2) The unit hydrograph method can’t be applied when an appreciable portion of the storm precipitation falls as snow.
3) In mountainous regions, subject to orographic rainfall, aerial distribution is very uneven, but the patten tends to remain the same from strom to strom, and unit hydrograph theory may not be successfully applied.
4) The principle of linearity is not partically valid for smaller and larger stroms.
5) The catchment having large storage like reservoir, lake, low area etc. affect the linear relationship and hence theory cannot be applied.
6) The principle of time invariance is valid only for specified time and condition of drainage basin.
7) Practically no two stroms have the same nature in space and time period. So, it is not possible to construct unit hydrograph
for each pattern.
Application of Unit Hydrograph Theory:The unit hydrograph method is used for the estimation of the maximum flood discharge of a stream. 1) Use of unit hydrograph for deriving a flood hydrograph resulting
from rainfall of unit duration.2) Use of unit hydrograph for deriving a flood hydrograph resulting
from a series of rainfalls each of same unit duration.3) Use of unit hydrograph for deriving a unit hydrograph of other
duration.

S –hydrograph is therefore a continuously rising curve in the formOf letter S, till a constant value of discharge is reached.
