Lag Time Time interval from the center of mass of the rainfall-excess to
the peak of the resultant hydrograph
Time to Peak
Time interval from the start of the rainfall-excess to the peak ofthe resultant hydrograph
Rainfall Duration Time interval from the start to the end of rainfall-excess
Time of Concentration Time interval from the end of the rainfall-excess to the point of
inflection on the hydrograph recession curve or
Time required for runoff to travel from the hydraulically mostdistant point on the watershed to the point of interest

Associated with the time duration andfrequency of the rainfall-excess producing it
If the duration D of the rainfall-excess is 30
minutes and the frequency is 2 years, thehydrograph is referred to as a 30-minute, 2-year frequency hydrograph

Area under the hydrograph represents avolume of water (total volume of rainfall thatfell on the basin and appeared as runoff)
If the area under the hydrograph represents 1inch (or 1 cm) of rainfall-excess over the entiredrainage basin then the hydrograph is called aUNIT hydrograph

Identical rainfalls with the same antecedentconditions produce identical hydrographs
The time bases of all hydrograph from rainfalls
of the same duration with the same antecedentconditions are equal
Superposition: If the storm duration is thesame, the hydrograph of a 2 storm is twice theamount of a 1 storm.

Development can cause less infiltration and morerunoff. In addition, runoff velocities increase becauseof smoother surfaces.
The net effect is that development can increase peakflow, resulting in inadequately sized drainagestructures
Most storm water management regulations require thatpost-development peak runoff rates be equal to or lessthan the predevelopment peak runoff rates
This can be done by constructing detention basinswhich temporarily store the water
Hydrographs are used to design detention basins (timeis an issue)
Sometimes, only the peak runoff flow is needed.

The S-Curve also known as S-hydrograph ishydrograph is produced by continuouseffective rain fall at constant rate for an infiniteperiod. It curves obtained by summation ofinfinite D-h unit hydrograph spaced D-h apart.Series of D-h hydrograph arranged with theirstarting points D-h apart. At any given time theordinates of the various curves occurring that
time coordinate summed up to obtain S-CURVE. A smooth curve through theseordinates result in an S-Shaped curve called S-curve

By definition an S-curve is obtained by addinga string of D-h unit hydrographs each laggedby D-hours from one another . Further if Tb=base period of the unit hydrograph, addition ofonly Tb/D unit hydrograph are sufficient toobtain the S curve.
