7. Elaborate the different elements of a stream flow hydrograph.

- Hydrograph has three characteristic regions: (1) The rising limb AB, joining point A,
the starting point of the rising curve and point B, the point of inflection, (2) The
crest segment BC between the two points of inflection with a peak P in between,
and (3) The falling limb or depletion curve CD starting from the second point of
inflection C.
Furthermore, rising limb of a hydrograph, also known as concentration curve
represents the increase in discharge due to the gradual building up of storage in
channel and over the catchment surface. The crest segment is one of the most
important parts of hydrograph as it contains the peak flow (which occurs when the
runoff from various parts of the catchment simultaneously). Moreover, multiple-
peaked complex hydrographs in a basin can occur when two or more storms occur
in succession. In line to the three elements, the falling limb, which extends from
the point of inflection at the end of the crest segment to the commencement of
the natural groundwater flow represents the withdrawal of water from the storage
built up in the basin during the earlier phase of the hydrograph.

8. Discuss the different factors affecting hydrograph.

- There are two types of factors that can affect hydograph, Physiographic factors and
climatic factors. Physiographic factors are those associated with the physical nature
of the area. This includes basin characteristics, which is categorize as shape, size,
slope, nature of valley, elevation, and drainage density. Another Physiographic
factor are infiltration characteristics such as: land use and cover, soil type and
geological conditions, and lakes, swaps and other storage. It also includes the
channel characteristics: cross-section, roughness and storage capacity.

The second type of factor are the chemical factors, such as storm characteristics:
precipitation, intensity, duration, magnitude and movement of storm. Another
factor is the initial loss and evapotranspiration.
