The factors affecting the runoff are as follows: 1. Precipitation 2. Size and Shape of the Catchment Area 3. Geographical Characteristics 4. Meteorological Characteristics 5. Drainage Net 6. Other Factors. Factor # 1. Precipitation: The runoff is clearly a function of precipitation, its intensity, its duration and its coverage. More the intensity, more will be […]

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 […]
