Storm hydrographs are graphs that show how a drainage basin responds to a period of rainfall. They are useful in planning for flood situations and times of drought as they show the discharge (amount of water reaching channel via surface run-off, throughflow, and base flow) that originated as precipitation.
A flood hydrograph is a graph of two axis, 'discharge' and 'time'.
Plotted on the graph is the amount of discharge over a period of time.
By looking at a hydrograph, a lot of information and data can be
gathered about the river, the precipitation, the surrounding area and
vegetation etc. The gradient, height and length of a line can tell you
a lot of this information.
