HYDROGRAPH SYNTHESIS BY DIGITAL COMPUTER

THE 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. /ASCE/
