  2. Hydrograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrograph

    A stream hydrograph is commonly determining the influence of different hydrologic processes on discharge from the subject catchment. Because the timing, magnitude, and duration of groundwater return flow differs so greatly from that of direct runoff, separating and understanding the influence of these distinct processes is key to analyzing and simulating the likely hydrologic effects of ...

  3. Water transfer printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_transfer_printing

    Water transfer printing, also known as immersion printing, water transfer imaging, hydro dipping, watermarbling, cubic printing, Hydrographics, or HydroGraphics, is a method of applying printed designs to three-dimensional surfaces. The resulting combinations may be considered decorative art or applied art. The hydrographic process can be used ...

  4. Routing (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_(hydrology)

    In hydrology, routing is a technique used to predict the changes in shape of a hydrograph as water moves through a river channel or a reservoir.In flood forecasting, hydrologists may want to know how a short burst of intense rain in an area upstream of a city will change as it reaches the city.

  5. Hydrography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrography

    Table of geography, hydrography, and navigation, from a 1728 Cyclopaedia.. Hydrography is the branch of applied sciences which deals with the measurement and description of the physical features of oceans, seas, coastal areas, lakes and rivers, as well as with the prediction of their change over time, for the primary purpose of safety of navigation and in support of all other marine activities ...

  6. Rating curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_curve

    When a stream is flowing under "channel control" conditions, the parameter does not have a physical analogue and must be estimated by following standard methods given in literature. The parameter β {\displaystyle \beta } is typically in the range of 2.0 to 3.0 when a stream is flowing under section control, and in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 when ...

  7. Streamflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamflow

    Plotted on a graph, these data from the unit hydrograph for that storm, which represents the runoff added to the pre-storm baseflow. To forecast the flows in a large drainage basin using the unit hydrograph method would be difficult because in a large basin geographic conditions may vary significantly from one part of the basin to another. This ...

  8. HEC-RAS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HEC-RAS

    The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) in Davis, California, developed the River Analysis System (RAS) to aid hydraulic engineers in channel flow analysis and floodplain determination. It includes numerous data entry capabilities, hydraulic analysis components, data storage and management capabilities, and graphing and reporting capabilities.
