Lecture

Hydrologic Response: Part 1

Description

This lecture covers the hydrologic response at catchment scales to precipitation, focusing on surface runoff, streamflow generation mechanisms, and flood studies. It delves into the mass balance equations, storm runoff mechanisms, and the effects of basin characteristics on flood hydrographs. The instructor explains the concept of rainfall excess, residence times within the control volume, and the natural probabilistic interpretation of hydrologic responses. The lecture also discusses storm runoff hydrographs, the runoff coefficient as a measure of event-based abstractions, and the effects of storm characteristics on surface runoff.
