Hydrograph Synthesis by Digital Computer
Publication: Journal of the Hydraulics Division
Volume 95, Issue 3
Abstract
This study consists of hydrograph synthesis based on an investigation of runoff from small drainage basins in Texas. A technique for determination of the temporal distribution of infiltration capacity is developed. Correlations between a critical hydrograph parameter, lag, and basin characteristics are made. Also, correlations are made between basin characteristics and the coefficients from Snyder's synthetic unit-hydrograph equations. A method for fitting hydrograph data to mathematical functions is developed. A nonlinear least-squares method is presented for fitting the seven points obtained by a modified Snyder procedure to the Pearson type III mathematical function.
