S-curve Hydrograph is the hydrograph

S-curve Hydrograph is the hydrograph Correct Answer of flow from a 1 cm intensity rain of infinite duration

Explanation

S-curve Hydrograph:

  • If it is required to develop a unit hydrograph of duration ‘m’ D, where m is a fraction then the s-curve technique is adopted.
  • To solve this method a D-hour unit hydrograph is required.
  • S curve represents the maximum rate at which an effective rainfall intensity of 1 cm/hr in D-hours duration can drain out from a catchment of area A km2 (SA).
  • It is used to obtain a unit hydrograph of shorter duration from longer duration or vice versa.
