PART A: BASIC HYDROLOGY

1.0 OBJECTIVE
To identify the relationship between rainfall and runoff.
2.0
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the course, students should be able to apply the knowledge and skills they have
learned to:
a. Understand the basic terms in hydrology.
b. Understand the concept of watershed area including time of concentration
(tc) and outlet or concentration point.
c. Understand the factors which influence the runoff.
3.0 THEORY
1. Runoff is generated by rainstorms and its occurrence and quantity are dependent on the
characteristics of the rainfall event, i.e. intensity, duration and distribution. The rainfall-runoff
process is extremely complex, making it difficult to model accurately. There are, in addition,
other important factors which influence the runoff generating process like natural surface
detention, soil infiltration characteristics and the drainage pattern formed by natural flow paths.
The soil type, vegetative cover and topography play as important roles. Rainfall and runoff are
very important hydrologic components because of their direct relations with water resources
quantity, flood, streamflow and design of dam and hydraulic structure.
4.0 EQUIPMENTS
Basic hydrological instrument, stop watch and rain gauge.

5.0 PROCEDURES
Case 1: Flat and sandy soils surface profile (without slope)
Case 2: Flat and sandy soils surface with 1:100 slope profile
1. Adjust the rail at side of the catchment area to justify according the requirement for case 1 (from
upstream to downstream).
2. And then move the profile board to obtain the cross section at the upstream as in case of flat and
sandy soils surface from upstream to downstream.
3. Use the steel ruler to measure the depth (mm) of the sandy soils.
4. Switch on the pump and start the stop watch at the same time.
5. Record the discharge every 30 seconds (during the rainfall). Also record the reading from the rain
gauge (mm).
6. When the peak discharge achieved (after 6 discharge readings with same values obtained),
switch off the pump to stop the rainfall. Record the time while stop of rainfall.
7. At the same time, the discharge readings must be recorded for each 30 seconds until
the values reach nearly zero.
8. Repeat the above procedures for case 2 and case 3.

7.0 QUESTIONS
1. Plot the discharge (unit m3/s) versus time (second) graph separately from the above values
for each cases (case 1 to case 3).
2. From the graph plotted, determine: (a) Time concentration (b) Rainfall duration, (c) Peak
discharge, (d) Runoff volume, (e) Rainfall intensity and (f) Storage volume.
3. Provide a table for all the results obtained from (2) and make comparisons with case 2 and
case 3.
