The runoff from a catchment is estimated by the following methods: 1. Standard Tables 2. Empirical Formulae 3. Rainfall Runoff Correlation. Method # 1. Standard Tables: Observations of precipitation and the resulting runoff were taken for a number of catchments having different characteristics. Tables are prepared showing the relation between precipitation and the resulting runoff, […]

In this article we will discuss about the hydrograph representing run-off of rainfall, with the help of suitable diagrams. Hydrograph is defined as a graph showing discharge (run-off) of flowing water with respect to time for a specified time. Discharge graphs are known as flood or run-off graphs. Each hydrograph has a reference to a […]

In this article we will discuss about the methods to measure run-off from rainfall over the catchment area. Also learn about the curves representing run-off data with the help of suitable diagrams. Methods to Measure Run-Off: 1. From Rainfall Records: In this method consistent rainfall record for a sufficiently long period is taken and then […]
