Which one is incorrect about assumptions made that are inherent to the unit hydrograph: O Rainfall excesses of equal duration are assumed to produce hydrographs with equivalent time bases regardless of the intensity of the rain. O The time distribution of direct runoff is assumed to dependent on antecedent precipitation. Rainfall distribution is assumed to be the same for all storms of equal duration, both spatially and temporally. O Direct runoff ordinates for a storm of a given duration are assumed to be directly proportional to rainfall excess volumes. Thus, twice the rainfall produces a doubling of hydrograph ordinates.
How would you go about deriving a UH from a catchment for which data (catchment area, rainfall and discharge values) are available? Derive a hyetograph from the incident rainfall (losses do not need to be considered to derive a UH); Determine the UH using the formula "Ui = Qi/P" (for a single interval hyetograph) or using "deconvolution" (for a multiple interval hyetograph). Estimate direct runoff hydrograph by subtracting baseflow from observed stream flow data; Estimate the total runoff volume and the direct runoff depth over the catchment; Determine the UH ordinates using the formula "Unit hydrograph = Direct runoff hydrograph x 1/Direct runoff depth"; Estimate catchment losses and subtract these from the incident precipitation to obtain excess rainfall; the duration of the excess rainfall is used as the duration of the UH. Determine the precipitation volume for each time interval; Use UH superposition and proportionality principles to derive a direct unit hydrograph; Estimate…
