Hydrograph

Index Hydrograph

A hydrograph is a graph showing the rate of flow (discharge) versus time past a specific point in a river, channel, or conduit carrying flow. [1]

Aquifer

An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt).

Aquifer test

An aquifer test (or a pumping test) is conducted to evaluate an aquifer by "stimulating" the aquifer through constant pumping, and observing the aquifer's "response" (drawdown) in observation wells.

Baseflow

Baseflow is the portion of the streamflow that is sustained between precipitation events, fed to streams by delayed pathways.

Combined sewer

A combined sewer is a sewage collection system of pipes and tunnels designed to also collect surface runoff.

Discharge (hydrology)

In hydrology, discharge is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area.

Drawdown (hydrology)

In water-related science and engineering there are two similar but distinct definitions in use for drawdown.

Flood

A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry.

New!!: Hydrograph and Flood · See more »

Groundwater

Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.

New!!: Hydrograph and Groundwater · See more »

Hydraulic head

Hydraulic head or piezometric head is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a geodetic datum.

New!!: Hydrograph and Hydraulic head · See more »

Hydrogeology

Hydrogeology (hydro- meaning water, and -geology meaning the study of the Earth) is the area of geology that deals with the distribution and movement of groundwater in the soil and rocks of the Earth's crust (commonly in aquifers).

Outfall

An outfall is the discharge point of a waste stream into a body of water; alternatively it may be the outlet of a river, drain or a sewer where it discharges into the sea, a lake or the like.

River regime

River regime can describe one of two characteristics of a reach of an alluvial river.

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.

Runoff model (reservoir)

A runoff model is a mathematical model describing the rainfall–runoff relations of a rainfall catchment area, drainage basin or watershed.

New!!: Hydrograph and Runoff model (reservoir) · See more »

Sewerage

Sewerage is the infrastructure that conveys sewage or surface runoff (stormwater, meltwater, rainwater) using sewers.

New!!: Hydrograph and Sewerage · See more »

Snow

Snow refers to forms of ice crystals that precipitate from the atmosphere (usually from clouds) and undergo changes on the Earth's surface.

New!!: Hydrograph and Snow · See more »

Surface runoff

Surface runoff (also known as overland flow) is the flow of water that occurs when excess stormwater, meltwater, or other sources flows over the Earth's surface.

New!!: Hydrograph and Surface runoff · See more »

Surface water

Surface water is water on the surface of the planet such as in a river, lake, wetland, or ocean.
