New Tutorials Created by Baipatra : HydroGraph Part 2
Learn the concepts of hydro-graph by participating in this quiz.Answer them first without seeing any text book.Use your common sense and general knowledge.Submit the answers online.Compare the correct answer with yours.If queries arises ask me.Take this test for a second time.Match the answers with the correct ones.The number of correct answer will be the measure of your understanding.
1.Who suggested the unit hydrograph method of flood hydrograph prediction ?
1.Sherman in 1932
2.Barnes in 1988
3.Khosla in 1944
4.Anderson in 1956
2.A unit hydrograph is defined as the hydrograph of direct runoff resulting from :
1.One unit depth of 'rainfall excess' (usually taken as 1 cm) occurring uniformly over the basin at an uniform rate for specified duration
2.One unit depth of rainfall excess (usually taken as 1 cm) occurring distibutively over the basin at an uniform rate for specified duration
3.One unit depth of rainfall excess (usually taken as 1 cm) occurring uniformly over the basin at a non-uniform rate for specified duration
4.One unit depth of rainfall(usually taken as 1 cm) occurring uniformly over the basin at an uniform rate for specified duration
3.The volume of water represented by a unit hydrograph is equal to :
1.Volume of rainfall excess
2.Area of hyetograph
3.Volume of hyetograph
4.None of the above
4.Unit hydrograph represent the lumped response of the basin due to unit rainfall excess of D-h duration
1.True
2.False
5.A D-h storm is considered to have an average intensity of Excess Rainfall equal to 1/D cm/hr.
1.True
2.False
6.The basic assumptions of unit hydrograph method for flood prediction is :
1.Time Invariance(Direct Runoff Hydrograph i.e.,Hydrograph - Baseflow is always same irrespective of when it occurs)
2.Linear Response(Both runoff and rainfall is linearly related)
3.Both of the above.
4.None of the above.
7.If unit hydrograph of equal duration is given prediction of a DRH of D-h can be possible based on the linear response assumption.
1.Yes
2.No
