This process is known as hydrologic cycle. It can be represented graphically as shown in figure Transpaton Predation omogetine (Rain, snow, hail, etc.) “y FSR cea e666 Evaporation ttt Hydrologic cycle Runoff Process in hydrologic cycle: Rainfall-Runoff Process: When a rain starts falling, itis first of all intercepted by buildings, trees, and other objects, which preventit from reaching the ground. This quantity is known as rainfall interception. The difference between the total rainfall and that which is intercepted is called ground rainfall Secondary, when the rainfall rate exceeds the interception rate, water starts reaching the ground and infiltration into the sub soil starts. Thirdly, the excess rainwater gets collected into the innumerable small and large depressions existing in the basin, filing them to their overflow levels. This quantity is known as depression storage. Itafter the depression storage is filed, the rain intensity (P) continues to exceed the infiltration capacity of the soil (f. The water that reaches the stream channel of a basin in this manner is called surface runoff or direct runoff Cann MADE EASY vrwimadeeasypubliationsor 4 | Civil Engineering @ Engineering Hydrology MADE EASY Pusllestions Solution : 2 Hyetograph: Rainfall intensity vs. Time ‘Cumulative rainfall | Rainfall in successive | Rainfall in successive] Rainfall intensity, Time “15 minuto interval | 30 minuto interval fem) (em) (em) fem) 10.415 22 18 - 72 10.30 40 : 14 [22 1100 51 : 18 32 7130 67 : 2a a2 72.00 38 : 03 06 72.30 ea 04 - 16 12.48 85 02 : [0a 13.00 97 : : L 12 é 42 z t 2 : : ‘s i i : = 22 £ | 0s ross f 1100 f 1200 f 1245 so48 10% 902301300 Intent draton cure Tine (a) Solution : 3 Optimum number of raingauges ay (©) © 78% C, ~ Coett. of variation G s ~ £ x10 X — Meanrainfall value ‘ 2% — EAE _ AN 514 824 55+ 50468 _ 40 5 omy ~ NE®) 6 — 9 Standard deviation = root mean square value O57 19.5 + (5049.5) + (6k 19.5) + (51- 49.5F + (32 49.5)" + (65 € Publications —EE | wonmadeeasypublcations org MADE ERSY © copyrisht) MADE EASY Publications No. of raingauge optimum —> Optimum no. of raingauges Given that error estimation = Rank Improvement Workbook | 5 = 12.276 em © x 100 = 12278 x 100 = 24.8% x 49.5 24.8 (2) -061 : 8 So rainfall values recorded at station should be within limit of 8% error.

Cyclonic precipitation 2, Convective precipitation 3. Orographic precipitation 4, Precipitation due to turbulent ascent 1. Cyclonic precipitation: Cyclonic precipitation results from lifting of air masses converging into low pressure area of cyclone. The cyclone precipitation may be divided into (a) frontal precipitation and (bb) rnon-frontal precipitation (a) Frontal Precipitation: A border region between two adjacent air masses having different characteristics such as temperature and humidity is called a front, When a flow of warm and moist air, mass from the south meets cold air mass of polar region, the cold air being heavier, under run the warm air flow in the form or fiat wedge forcing the warm ait aloft. The lifted warm air mass cools down at high altitudes, causing precipitation. A front may be warm front or cold front depending upon whether there is active or passive ascent of warm air mass over cold air mass. (b) Non-frontal Precipitation: In the case of non-frontal precipitation, the moist warm air mass is stationary and the moving cold air mass meets it. Thus, due to lightness of the warm air there is passive ascent of warm air over cold air owing to the active under cutting. When the lifted warm air cools down at higher altitude precipitation occurs, 2. Convective precipitation: Convective precipitation is caused by natural rising or warmer lighter air in colder, denser surroundings. The difference in temperature may result from unequal heating at the surface, unequal cooling at the top of the air layer, or mechanical ting when air is forced to pass over a denser colder air masses. Convective precipitation is spotty and its intensity may vary from light showers to cloud bursts 3. Orographic precipitation: Orographic precipitation is due to ltting of warm moisture laden air masses due to topographic barriers (such as mountains). All the precipitation we have in Himalayan region is because of the oragraphic ascent of air masses, rich in moisture content because of their long trave! over oceans. 4. Precipitation due to turbulent ascent: Air mass is forced to rise up due to greater friction of earth surface after its travel over ocean, The air mass rises up because of increased turbulence and friction, when itultimately condenses and precipitation occurs. Winter rainfall in Madras State is mainly due to this process. Innature, the effects of these various types of cooling are often inter-related and the resulting precipitation ‘cannot be identified as being of any one type.

They are the followings. 1, Vapour pressure: Rate of evaporation is proportional tothe difference between the saturation vapour pressure (c,) and actual vapour pressure in a (0). E, = C(e,-6,) ‘Temperature: Rate of evaporation increases with an increase in water temperature, 3. Wind: Wind aids in removing evaporated water vapour from zone of evaporation and consequently creates scope for evaporation. 4, Atmospheric pressure: A ciecrease in barometric pressure, as in high alttuces, increases evaporation 5. Soluble Salts: When a solute is dissolved in water, the vapour pressure of solution is less than that of pure water and hence causes reduction in rate of evaporation 6. Heat storage in water bodies: Deep water bodies have more storage than shallow ones. A deep lake may store radialion energy received in summer and release it in winter causing less evaporation in ‘summer and more evaporation in winter compared to a shallow lake exposed to a similar situation.

Climatic factors (i) Storm characteristics: precipitation, intensity, duration, magnitude and movement of storm. (ii) Initial loss. (ii) Evapotranspiration There are 3 limbs/segments of hydrograph 1. Rising limb: also known as concentration curve. Itrepresents building up of storage in channels. The intial losses and high inftration losses during early period of storm cause discharge to rise rather slowly. — Basin with large slope leads to steep rising limb as well as quick depletion of storage. — More the intensity of storm, steeper the rising limb. Elongated catchments have elongated rising limb. Nearly semicircular fan shaped catchments give small length of rising limb, 2. Crest segment : It contains the peak flow — Steeper the slope of catchment, more willbe the peak flow and vice versa. — Fan shaped catchments give high peak value — Larger the catchment area, more willbe peak discharge. — More the vegetation cover and inftration losses, less will be the peak discharge. — High intensity storm with large duration will give very high peak discharge 3. Recession limb: — extends from point of inflection at the end of crest segment to commencement of natural ground flow. — The shane of his part of hydrograph is independent of storm characteristics and depends entirely on basin characteristics. — Large slope of catchment gives rise to quicker depletion of storage and hence a steep recession limb or vice versa. — High drainage density implies steeper recession limb. — Urbanisation is the cause of more and more steep recession limb and becoming a grave concern. Vegetation and soil cover provide elongated and flat recession limb Solution : 3 To determine 2 hour synthetic unit hydrograph we shall need to calculate salient features of hydragraph.

Structural Measures: (i) A. Storage and detention reservoirs: "Apart of storage in reservoir is kept apart to absorb incoming flood. Further the stored water is released in a controlled way over an extended time so that downstream channels do not get flooded. B. Retention reservoir: * It consists of an obstruction to a river with an uncontrolled outlet, These are essentially small structures and operate to reduce flood peak (ii) Levees: * Also known as flood embankments, are earthen banks constructed parallel to course of river to confine it to a fixed course and limited cross-sectional width. Suspected of being overstopped cheapest and require care and maintenance. (lil) Floodways: + These are natural channels into which a part of flood will be diverted during high stages. (iv) Channel improvement: + Widening/deepening of channel to increase cross-sectional area. + Reduction of channel roughness, by clearing of vegetation from channel perimeter. + These are short term measures and require regular maintenance. (v) Watershed Management: * Watershed management in catchment aims at cutting down and delaying runoff before it gets into river * Watershed management measures include developing vegetative and soil cover to improve water infitrating capacity of soil and reduction of soil erosion 2. Non Structural Measures: (i) Flood Plain Zonin: + Identifying flood prone areas of a river and regulates land use to restrict damage due to floods. * Land of food plains is classified into some zones for various human activities and chances of witnessing flood Zone Flood return Period 1 100years Residential Houses/tactories 2 25years Parks 3 Frequent Noconstruction/encroachment (ii) Flood Forecasting and Warning: * Forecasting sufficiently in advance enables a warning to be given to people like to be affected and further enables civil authorities to take appropriate precautionary measures, ShortRange forecasts: 1240 hrs. warning Medium Range forecasts: 2-5 Days warning — Long Range forecasts: Using radars === MADE EASY econnon) MADE EASY Rank Improvement Workbook | 37 (iii) Evacuation and Relocation: * Evacuation of communities along with their live stock and other valuables and relocation of them in nearby safe locations, (iv) Flood Insurane * Provides a mechanism of spreading loss over large number of individuals Solution : 4 The main difference between hydrological and hydraulic routing is the approach way. Hydraulic Routing: Employ the continuity equation together with the equation of motion of unsteady flow, also known as St. Venant Equations Hydrologic Routing: Employ essentially the equation of continuity. + For unsteady flow, hydraulic rouling is preferred over hydrologic routing Examples of Hydraulic routing: — Kinematic wave model — Diffusion analogy method Examples of Hydrological routin: Muskingum Equation — Modified Pul's Method = Goodrich Method * The passage of a flood hydrograph through a reservoir or a channel reach is an unsteady flow, called gradually varied unsteady tlow. ds 1-0-4 Tat-Qat = As ("star (B22)ar as 5.05, At- should be sufficiently short so that the inflow and outflow hydragraph can be assumed to be straight lines. 1 si o Ah) 5=5ih) Output At | h elevation S$ storage Q discharge Cann MADE EASY woramadeeasypubliations.org) 28 | CivilEngineering © Engineering Hydrology MADE EASY Pusllestions Ian uncontrolled spillway outlet is provided in a reservoir. = Qh) HH head over spillway crest C,- Coett. of discharge For reservoir routing * Storage volume vs. Elevation * Storage vs. outflow discharge + Inflow hydrograph 1 = 1(2) + Initial values of S, /and Qat t= 0 (8)(6-2) (6-98) Method ene Qat * From the known storage-elevation and discharge elevation data, prepare a curve of (s+) vs. elevation.
