How would you go about deriving a UH from a catchment for which data (catchment area, rainfall and discharge values) are available? Derive a hyetograph from the incident rainfall (losses do not need to be considered to derive a UH); Determine the UH using the formula "Ui = Qi/P" (for a single interval hyetograph) or using "deconvolution" (for a multiple interval hyetograph). Estimate direct runoff hydrograph by subtracting baseflow from observed stream flow data; Estimate the total runoff volume and the direct runoff depth over the catchment; Determine the UH ordinates using the formula "Unit hydrograph = Direct runoff hydrograph x 1/Direct runoff depth"; Estimate catchment losses and subtract these from the incident precipitation to obtain excess rainfall; the duration of the excess rainfall is used as the duration of the UH. Determine the precipitation volume for each time interval; Use UH superposition and proportionality principles to derive a direct unit hydrograph; Estimate…
