Formation process of surface runoff
• Surface runoff
– overland flow (sheet flow)
– shallow concentrated flow
– open channel flow
Runoff hydrograph
• Total streamflow during a precipitation event
includes the baseflow existing in the basin prior
to the storm and the runoff due to the given
storm precipitation. Total streamflow
hydrographs are usually conceptualized as being
composed of:
– Direct Runoff, which is composed of contributions
from surface runoff and quick interflow. Unit
hydrograph analysis refers only to direct runoff.
– Baseflow, which is composed of contributions from
delayed interflow and groundwater runoff.
• Surface runoff includes all overland flow as well as
all precipitation falling directly onto stream
channels. Surface runoff is the main contributor to
the peak discharge.
• Interflow is the portion of the streamflow
contributed by infiltrated water that moves laterally
in the subsurface until it reaches a channel.
Interflow is a slower process than surface runoff.
Components of interflow are
– quick interflow, which contributes to direct runoff, and
– delayed interflow, which contributes to baseflow.
• Groundwater runoff is the flow component
contributed to the channel by groundwater.
This process is extremely slow as compared to
surface runoff.
• Basins with a lot of storage have a large
recessional limb.
• Recession occurs exponentially for baseflow
Methods of baseflow separation
• Fixed base method (A-B-D-E)
• Variable slope method (A-B-C-E)
• Straight line method (A-E)
• Curves AB and EF are considered as ground
water recession curves.
• The ground water recession can be described
by the following equation
• The recession limb of a hydrograph represents
withdraw of water from surface storage,
subsurface (inter) flow and groundwater flow.
Suppose that the recession curve can be
expressed by
Also known as
‘Drainage Network’

Zero order (watersheds)?
Solution:
Σ(i – φ)t = Pe, and thus it follows

Examples
SCS method
• Soil conservation service (SCS) method is an
experimentally derived method to determine rainfall
excess using information about soils, vegetative cover,
hydrologic condition and antecedent moisture
conditions
• The method is based on the simple relationship that
Pe = P - Fa – Ia
P Pe I a Fa
Precipitation
Pe is runoff volume, P is
precipitation volume, Fa Pe
is continuing
abstraction, and Ia is the
Ia Fa
sum of initial losses
(depression storage, Time

interception, ET)

Time of Concentration
• Different areas of a watershed
contribute to runoff at different
times after precipitation begins
• Time of concentration
– Time at which all parts of
the watershed begin
contributing to the runoff
from the basin
– Time of flow from the
farthest point in the
watershed Isochrones: boundaries of
contributing areas with
equal time of flow to the
watershed outlet
Definition
• Time required for runoff to travel from the
hydraulically most distant point on a
watershed to another point of interest within
the watershed
51
Factors
• Surface roughness
• Channel shape and flow patterns
• Slope
52
Importance
• Rational method
– Calculate time of concentration, tc
– Set duration = tc
– Use IDF curve to find rainfall intensity
• TR-55 Method
– Calculate time of concentration, tc
– Look up unit peak discharge on the appropriate Exhibit 4-#
53
Calculation of time of concentration
• Urban
– Sheet flow from back end of a residential lot
– Open channel flow once water drops over the curb
and into a gutter
• Rural
– Sheet flow in upper part of watershed
– Shallow concentrated flow as water forms rivulets
– Open channel flow (ditch/creek)
