Engineering Hydrology

 πŸ‘‰ A flow duration curve is a plot of discharge against the percentage of time the flow was equaled or 

exceeded. This curve is also known as discharge frequency curve.  

πŸ‘‰Line joining points of equal rainfall depth is called isohyet.

πŸ‘‰ Isopleths are line on a map through points having equal depth of evapotranspiration.

πŸ‘‰  Bowen's ratio is defined as the ratio of Sensible heat transfer from water surface to air (Ha) to Heat energy used up in evaporation (He)

 πŸ‘‰ Ratio of total channel length to the discharge area is called drainage density. 

πŸ‘‰         Hyetograph:  Rainfall intensity versus time 

   
               Mass Curve: Cumulative rainfall versus time



               Hydrograph: hydrograph is a graph showing the rate of flow versus time past a specific point in a river, channel, or conduit carrying flow

  1. I'm constantly searching on the internet for posts that will help me. Too much is clearly to learn about this. I believe you created good quality items in Functions also. Keep working, congrats! customize steel structure manufacturer
