1. Introduction
The hydrological cycle represents the continuous movement of water above, on, and beneath the
surface of the Earth. The cycle encompasses the transport of water by evapotranspiration, precipitation,
surface runoff, subsurface flow, and groundwater routes at all sizes, from the globe to the smallest stream
catchment. Water is evaporated from the land, seas, and vegetation to the atmosphere, where it is recycled
as rain or snow, using the radiant energy from the Sun. When moisture from the atmosphere descends to
the Earth's surface, it splits into several interconnecting channels.
Precipitation wets plants, enters surface water bodies immediately, or begins to permeate the earth
to replace soil moisture (excluding snow and hail). Excess water percolates to the saturation zone, or
groundwater, where it travels horizontally and downhill to groundwater discharge sites. Infiltration rates
differ based on land use, soil properties, and the length and intensity of the rainfall event. When rainfall
surpasses infiltration, overland flow occurs. Surface runoff and groundwater discharge lead to water
entering streams, which eventually flows to the sea and evaporates to complete the hydrological cycle.
Rainstorms generate runoff, which is reliant on the features of the rainfall event, such as intensity,
length, and dispersion, for its occurrence and amount. The rainfall-runoff mechanism is exceedingly
complicated, making accurate modelling challenging. Other key elements that impact runoff generation
include natural surface detention, soil infiltration characteristics, and the drainage pattern established by
natural flow routes. Soil types, vegetation cover, and terrain all have vital impacts. Because of their direct
relationship on water resources quantity, flood, streamflow, and dam and hydraulic structure design,
rainfall and runoff are particularly essential hydrologic components.

4.0 Discussion
This experiment shows that rainstorms and their incidence and amount are affected by
the features of the rainfall event, intensity, duration and dispersion. It may deduce from this
experiment that a few factors contribute to the runoff generation process. Humans are unable
to create an appropriate reading procedure. It was caused by the rain gauge's parallax mistake.
Adding more slope which happens in Case 2 situation will produce more runoff volume,
rainfall intensity along with storage volume even though having the same value of rainfall
duration. The infiltration capacity of a soil is determined by its porosity, which defines its water
storage capacity and influences the resistance of water to flow into a deeper layer. Higher
infiltration capacity is usually seen in porous sand. From that, it can be seen that the sand
utilised is absolutely functional and the rain gauge is moving. Finally, the water appears to be
seeping from someplace on the catchment area side. It may interfere with the rain gauge
reading. Some factors that affecting the runoff are:
a) Rainfall intensity
Rainfall intensity is an important component influencing runoff, and its magnitude has a direct
impact on the volume of runoff. When the intensity of the rain rises, so does the run off. Surface
and subsurface runoff rose significantly as rainfall intensity increased, although surface runoff
loss was significantly more than underground runoff loss. This variation in runoff loss might
be due to the fact that the kinetic energy of raindrops impacting the soil surface rises as rainfall
intensity increases.
b) Rainfall duration
It is significant because infiltration capacity decreases with increasing rainfall duration until it
becomes constant. Surface run-off increases as infiltration decreases. There may be no filtering
if the water table reaches the ground level.
c) Rainfall distribution
The run-off from a basin is heavily influenced by the distribution of rainfall. Rain may fall on
the entire basin or only a portion of it. Peak flows in tiny drainage basins are typically caused
by heavy rainfall falling over a short region. Peak flows in vast drainage basins, on the other
hand, are caused by storms of smaller strength but covering a larger region. The rainfall
distribution is commonly expressed by the distribution coefficient, which may be determined
13
for a specific storm by dividing the maximum rainfall at the site by the mean rainfall over the
basin.
d) Soil moisture
The run off is also affected by the amount of soil moisture present at the time of the rainfall. If
there has been a lengthy period of dry weather, the soil is dry and may absorb enormous
volumes of water. Even heavy rain may fail to cause significant run off in such conditions.
Furthermore, if there is continual rain, the soil will be damp and infiltration will be minimal.
Even little showers might generate significant flooding under such settings.
