CHARACTERISTICS OF
RUNOFF
• Peak Discharge
• Time Variation of Runoff - Hydrograph
• Stage versus Discharge for Stream Channels
• Total Volume of Runoff
• Frequency of Runoff - Statistics
• Return Period
RUNOFF
• Excess rainfall is the rainfall remaining after all of
the hydrologic abstractions have been subtracted.
Excess rainfall becomes runoff and eventually
streamflow.
• A hydrograph is a curve describing the variation of
discharge with time as a result of a storm. The
main features are the rising and falling limbs, the
peak and the base duration.
