Major Hydrologic Processes
Precipitation (measured at rain gage) Evaporation or ET (loss to atmosphere) Infiltration (loss to subsurface) Overland Flow Stream Flow (measured at stage gage) Ground Water Flow
![Page 4: Introduction to Surface Water Hydrology and Watersheds Lecture 1 Philip B. Bedient Rice University November, 2000](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649cfa5503460f949cb879/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Watershed or Basin
Area of land that drains to a single outlet and is separated from other watersheds by a drainage divide.
Rainfall that falls in a watershed will create runoff to that watershed outlet.
All other rainfall falling outside a basin will not affect the runoff response.

The Hydrograph
Graph of Discharge vs Time at a Single Location
Rising Limb, Crest Segment, Falling Limb,and
Recession
Base Flow is Usually Subtracted to yield DRO
Peak Gives the Maximum Flow for the Event
![Page 7: Introduction to Surface Water Hydrology and Watersheds Lecture 1 Philip B. Bedient Rice University November, 2000](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649cfa5503460f949cb879/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Hyetograph
Graph of Rainfall Rate vs Time at a Single Gage
Usually Plotted as a Bar Chart
Net Rainfall is Found by Subtr. Infiltration Losses
Integration of Net Rainfall in Time yields the Total
Rainfall Vol (DRO) in inches over a Watershed
![Page 8: Introduction to Surface Water Hydrology and Watersheds Lecture 1 Philip B. Bedient Rice University November, 2000](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649cfa5503460f949cb879/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Runoff in an Urban Basin
A portion becomes pipe flow (storm water).
The remaining portion becomes overland flow in streets and yards.
The total runoff is the sum of both components

Unit Hydrograph Theory
The unit hydrograph represents the basin response to 1 inch of uniform net rainfall for a specified duration.
Linear method originally devised in 1932.
Works best for relatively small subareas.
Several computational methods exist.

Ponds are imperative for Flood Relief!
