Chapter Five Hydrograph • A hydrograph is a graph showing stream flow at the concentration point with time. • Steps of development: • At the beginning, there is only base flow (i. e. , the ground water contribution to the stream) • Gradually , after the storm beginning, the initial losses like interception and infiltration are met and then the surface flow begins. • AB (Rising Limb) , The hydrograph gradually rises , and reaches its peak value after a time tp 10/24/2020 1

• BC (Crest Segment) : Is the increase in the drain because of the gradual increase in the storage due to the channels above basin • P(Peak point ): point placed between inflection points (B, and C) • Inter Flow of the rain up to this point and after this there is gradual dragging of catchment storage. • By this time the ground water table has been built up by the more infiltrating water. • CD (falling Limb): it declines and there is a change of slope at the inflection point (c). • this represents for us the process of withdrawing water from the storage , which was stored in basin during the first phase of the hydrograph. 10/24/2020 3
• t. B : time of ground water contribution of stream flow (Base Flow ). • If a second storm occurs now, again the hydrograph starts rising • till it reaches the new peak and then falls and the ground water withdrawal begins. • Hydrograph represent the three cases of runoff : • Surface Runoff. • Inter Flow. • Base Flow. • The hydrograph does not depend on rain- storm characteristics but is entirely dependent on the characteristics of basin. • Basin shape • Volume of basin 10/24/2020 4
Slop of basin. Vegetation in the basin. Geological soil of basin. If there is another basins and catchments in the region. Base Flow Separation : Hydrograph surface Runoff get from total hydrograph by separated the fast flow from the slow runoff(base flow). • if we consider that Inter flow part of the surface runoff, it is located within the fast flow, and for this it is subtracted from the base runoff hydrograph we get the surface runoff hydrograph. • There are three methods used to separate base runoff : • • • 10/24/2020 5
• 1 - The straight-line method : • It is separated runoff base by connect the beginning of surface runoff in a straight line on the falling side, which represents the end of direct runoff • There is experimental equation to determine the time period N (day) of the inflection Pi point to point B: • N = 0. 83 A 0. 2 • A = Area of drainage (km 2) 10/24/2020 6
• Second Method : • Start of surface runoff be extended until intersection with the coordinates of the peak point (point C) and This point to be linked with point B in a straight line. C 10/24/2020 7
• Third method : • In this way, the yield curve of ground flow is extended back until it intersection with the line coming down from the inflection Pi point (line EF) and two points A and F are connect them and be drawn is roughly. 10/24/2020 8
• Excess Rain hydrograph ( ERH) : Produces subtracted the losses from Total runoff hydrograph( TRH). • Both hydrographic ERH and DRH (Direct Rain hydrograph) represent the same total amount but the different in units, where the units of the (ERH) (cm / hr). • when paint the (ERH) against time, the area under curve and you multiply by area basin the output represents the total volume of direct runoff and that It is at the same time represent the area of (DRH). 10/24/2020 9
• Example 1/ • Rain that valued 3. 8, 2. 8 cm occurred during successive term sustainability of 4 hours and the amount of area on the 27 km 2 and has produced the following hydrograph to flow in the discharge basin points, Determine the excess rain and the value of the index Ф? • Solution From the data in the table draw the hydrograph. 10/24/2020 10

• 5 -5=0, 13 -5=8 • Volume of DRH = 6*60*60[0. 5*8+0. 5(8+21)+0. 5(21+16)+0. 5(16+11)+0. 5(11+7)+ • 0. 5(7+4)+0. 5(4+2)+0. 5(2)]= 1. 4904*106 m 3 • Depth of DRH = Runoff vol. / Area = 1. 4904*106 / 27*106 = 5. 52 cm. ( )ﺍﻟﻤﻄﺮﺍﻟﺼﺎﻓﻲ Pnet • Total Rainfall = 2. 8 + 3. 8 = 6. 6 cm. • Time of Duration = 8 hr. • Ф index = (6. 6 – 5. 52) / 8 = 0. 135 cm/hr. 10/24/2020 13
• H. W. • Rain that valued 7 cm occurred during successive term sustainability of 5 hours and the amount of area on the 29 km 2 and has produced the following hydrograph to flow in the discharge basin points, Determine the excess rain and the value of the index Ф? 10/24/2020 14
• UNIT HYDROGRAPH: • is defined as the hydrograph of runoff resulting from an isolated rainfall of some unit duration occurring uniformly over the entire area of the catchment, produces a (unit volume for 1 cm) of runoff. • Steps of unit hydrograph. • Separate the base flow from the total runoff (by the well-known base flow separation procedures). • From the ordinates of the total runoff hydrograph deduct the corresponding ordinates of base flow, to obtain the ordinates of direct runoff. • Divide the volume of direct runoff by the area of the drainage basin to obtain the net rain depth over the basin. • Divide each of the ordinates of direct runoff by the net rain depth to obtain the ordinates of the unit hydrograph. 10/24/2020 15
The steps for the derivation of unit hydrograph can be formulated as follows : 10/24/2020 16
• Example: Determine peak hydrograph 3 - UG standard hours, if you learned that the peak hydrograph flood caused due to 3 hour rain is 270 m 3/s, the rain depth rate equal to 5. 9 cm, suppose that losses rate equal to 0. 3 cm/hour, the base flow value constant and equal to 20 m 3/s? • Solution • Pnet = 5. 9 – 3*0. 3 = 5 cm • Peak for DRH = 270 - 20 =250 m 3/s • Peak for 3 -UH = 250/5= 50 m 3/s /cm 10/24/2020 17
• APPLICATION OF UNIT HYDROGRAPH • The application of unit hydrograph consists of two aspects: • (i) From a unit hydrograph of a known duration to obtain a unit hydrograph of the desired duration, • (ii) From the unit hydrograph , to obtain the flood hydrograph corresponding to a single storm or multiple storms. For design purposes, which with the help of unit hydrograph, gives a design flood hydrograph. 10/24/2020 18
• Example / The successive three-hourly ordinates of a 6 -hr UG for a particular basin are 0, 15, 36, 30, 17. 5, 8. 5, 3, 0 m 3, respectively. The flood peak observed due to a 6 -hr storm was 150 m 3. Assuming a constant base flow of 6 m 3 and an average storm loss of 6 mm/hr, determine the depth of storm rainfall and the stream flow at successive 3 hr interval. 10/24/2020 19
• Example • The design storm of a water shed has the depths of rainfall of 4. 9 and 3. 9 cm for the consecutive 1 -hr periods. The 1 -hr UG can be approximated by a triangle of base 6 hr with a peak of 50 cumec occurring after 2 hr from the beginning. Compute the flood hydrograph assuming an average loss rate of 9 mm/hr and constant base flow of 10 cumec. What its coefficient of runoff? 10/24/2020 20
• Solution • (i) The flood hydrograph due to the two consecutive hourly storms is computed in Table: 10/24/2020 21

• Example: / Rain storm rate table below the collector in three successive periods and 6 -hour values were, respectively, 3. 5, 7. 5 and 5. 5 cm. Loss of the storm rain rate (index Ф) falling on the collector was guessed by 0. 25 cm / hour. Use a 6 -hour time for the vertical coordinates of the unit hydrograph in the table, direct runoff hydrograph.

• Distribution percentages: • The distribution shows the percentages of total unit hydrograph, which occur during successive uniform time increments. • The procedure of deriving the distribution graph is first to separate the base flow from the total runoff. • Example / Analysis of the DRO for a one day unit storm over a basin for the following data: 18, 96, 120, 82, 47, 25, 12, and 2 m 3.

• APPLICATION OF UNIT HYDROGRAPH: • The application of unit hydrograph consists of : • (i) From a unit hydrograph of a known duration to obtain a unit hydrograph of the demand duration, either by the S-curve method or by the principle of superposition. • (ii) From the unit hydrograph, so derived to obtain the flood hydrograph corresponding to a single storm or multiple storms. For design purposes, a design storm is assumed with the help of unit hydrograph, gives a design flood hydrograph. 10/24/2020 38
• Example • The 3 -hr unit hydrograph ordinates for a basin are given below. There was a storm, which commenced on July 15 at (6 -hr ), which was followed by another storm on July 16 at (12 -hr). the amount of rainfall on July 15 was 5. 75 cm for first (3 -hr ) and 3. 75 cm for next (3 -hr) , and on July 16, 4. 45 cm for all (12 -hr). Assuming an average loss of 0. 25 cm/hr and 0. 15 cm/hr for the two storms, respectively, and a constant base flow of 10 m 3. Determine the stream flow hydrograph and peak flow. 10/24/2020 39
• Solution • Since the duration of the UG is 3 hr, the 6 -hr storm can be considered as 2 -unit storm. • A net rain of 5. 75 – 0. 25 × 3 = 5 cm in the first 3 -hr period and a net rain of 3. 75 – 0. 25 × 3 = 3 cm in the next 3 -hr period. • The unit hydrograph ordinates are multiplied by the net rain of each period by 3 hr. Similarly, • Another unit storm by 12 hr (next day) produces a net rain of 4. 45 – 0. 15 × 3 = 4 cm which is multiplied by the UGO. • Table show the rainfall excesses due to the three storms are added up to get the total direct surface discharge ordinates. 10/24/2020 40
