Runoff is the portion of rainfall which flows through rivers or streams. There are several factors that affect the production of runoff such as precipitation characteristic, shape and size of the catchment, topography, meteorological characteristics and others. Choose one factor and discuss it in detail with help of diagram how it affects runoff production.

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…
