Generation

A hydrograph is a graph showing the rate of water flow (discharge) versus time at a specific point in a stream or river, typically in response to a precipitation event. The rising limb represents increasing discharge as rainfall runs off into the channel, the peak discharge is the maximum flow rate, and the falling (recession) limb shows decreasing flow as the drainage basin depletes. **Key formula**: Q = C × i × A (Rational Method) Where Q = peak discharge, C = runoff coefficient (dimensionless), i = rainfall intensity, and A = drainage area.
