Look at the diagram:1. List down input & output
2. Which are the storage & flow.
3. How does water from surface storage reaches groundwater storage?
4. Name the flow marked A and B.
5. Define terms shown indiagrams.

Describe the differences between the discharges of rivers X and Y in response to the rainfall
hydrographs over24 hours of the two rivers.
Catchments of rivers X & Y
Using both diagram explain why the discharge of the two rivers are different
Explain how each of these influence storm hydrograph:Drainage basin shape, geology, rainfall intensity, drainage density

landforms1. Draw a labelled diagram to show each of
the following landforms & explain how they are formed:
(a) Meandering
(b) Flood plain and levees.
(c) Delta
(d) ox-bow lake
(e) Water fall
(f) Braided channel.

Flood
• Explain how river floods might be predicted. Giving examples, describe the methods which may be used to reduce the effects of flooding.
• Describe the main features of river flood plains and explain why flood plains may present problems for human settlements.

Human activities on flow
• Suggest how human activities might affect flows within a river channel.
• How can changes in land use affect flows and stores in a drainage basin?
• How can the abstraction (removal) and the storage of water by humans affect flows
and stores within a drainage basin. • Explain how urbanisation can affect riverchannel flows.
