Characteristics of the Inlet Hydrograph

Warren Viessman, John C. Geyer

Abstract

Study of relationship between rainfall and runoff for impervious inlet areas; data for analyses were derived from records of rainfall and runoff on impervious areas in Baltimore, Md, Newark, Del, and Hertfordshire, Great Britain; equations for determination of peak rates of runoff and time of rise of hydrograph are developed; method is proposed for predicting shape of simple hydrograph.
