After using the convolution method, the peak flow value from a 4-hr duration unit hydrograph is four (4) times bigger than the peak flow of the original 1-hr duration unit hydrograph event. True or False? Explain.
This statement is FALSE.
Peak flow of a hydrograph is the maximum flow in the catchment at a particular time. The comparison of peak flows between two unit hydrographs can be done on the basis of their Excess rainfall intensity
( ERI) . The hyetograph showing excess rainfall ( excluding base flow ) is known as Excess Rainfall Hyetograph ( ERH ).
