4. Surface Runoff and stream flow
4
On hard or frozen ground, most of the precipitation is unable to seep
below ground.This precipitation then flows down slopes and hills,
eventually stopping in rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans.
Some of this water will then evaporate and rejoin the hydrologic cycle,
while other water will remain in the body of water.
This process of water traveling over the ground and collecting in a body of
water is called surface runoff.
Stream
5. Surface Runoff and Stream flow
5
Stream flow, or channel runoff, is the flow of water in streams, rivers,
and other channels, and is a major element of the water cycle.
Importance:
Stream flow is one of the most important topics in engineering hydrology
because it directly relate to water supply, flood control, reservoir design,
navigation, irrigation, drainage, water quality, and others.

20. Measurement of Water Stage
20
Measurement of Water Stage
Water stage: the elevation above some arbitrary datum of
water surface at a station.
21. Measurement of water stage

Types of Gages Measuring River Stage:
Staff gage – vertical or inclined
Suspended – weight gage
Recording gage
Crest – stage gage ( used to indicate high water mark)
23. Stage-Discharge Relation
Rating curve is a graph of discharge versus stage for a given point on a
stream, usually at gaging stations, where the stream discharge is measured
across the stream channel with a flow meter

24. Stage-Discharge Relation
24
During the event of large flood, it is impossible or impractical to measure
discharge directly. More often, the flood stage goes beyond the range of the
data range used to define the rating curve.Therefore, extrapolation of the
ration curve is needed when water level is recorded below the lowest or
above the highest level.

26. Hydrograph
26
A hydrograph is a graph showing the rate of flow (discharge) versus time
past a specific point in a river, or other channel or conduit carrying flow.
The rate of flow is typically expressed in cubic meters or cubic feet per
second (cms or cfs).
27. Hydrograph
27
Time to Peak, tp:Time from the
beginning of the rising limb to the
occurrence of the peak discharge.
Time of Concentration, tc:Time
required for water to travel from the
most hydraulically remote point in the
basin to the basin outlet
LagTime, tl:Time between the center
of mass of the effective rainfall
hyetograph and the center of mass of
the direct runoff hydrograph
Time Base, tb: Duration of the direct
runoff hydrograph.
28. Essential Components of Hydrograph
28
Essential components of a hydrograph are:
(i) the rising limb,
(ii) the crest segment, and
(iii) the recession limb.
(iv) Direct run off

31. Unit Hydrograph
31
The hydrograph that results from 1-
inch (or 1 cm) of excess precipitation
(or runoff) spread uniformly in space
and time over a watershed for a given
duration.
The key points :
1-inch (or 1cm) of EXCESS
precipitation
Spread uniformly over space -
evenly over the watershed
Uniformly in time - the excess
rate is constant over the time
interval
There is a given duration
32. Unit Hydrographs of Different Duration
32
In practice the unit hydrographs of different duration are
needed. e.g., 1h- unit hydrograph, 2h-unit hydrograph, etc
Two methods are available to generate hydrograph of
different durations
1. Method of Superposition
2. the S-Curve
33. 1. Method of Superposition
T-H unit duration is
available and it is
needed to make
UH of nT-H, where
n is and integer
Superposing n UH
with each graph
separated from the
previous one by
T-H
