THE INFLUENCE OF LANDFORM AND PRECIPITATION PARAMETERS ON FLOOD HYDROGRAPHS

A LABORATORY WATERSHED PERMITTED CAREFULLY CONTROLLED EXPERIMENTS ON IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT AFFECT STREAM HYDROGRAPHS. THE FACTORS SELECTED FOR EXPERIMENTAL VARIATION ARE: RAINFALL INTENSITY, RAINFALL DURATION, STORM MOVEMENT, SIMULATED PERMEABILITY, AND ANTECEDENT MOISTURE CONDITIONS. SYSTEMATIC CHANGES IN THE FLOOD HYDROGRAPHS, BROUGHT ABOUT BY CONTROLLED VARIATION IN THE FIVE FACTORS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, ARE DESCRIBED. /AUTHOR/
