This article provides a note on hydrologic cycle with the help of a diagram. Streams transport water to the sea. From the surface of the oceans, streams and lakes (or reservoirs) water is evaporated into the atmosphere. In addition, water is also evaporated into the atmosphere through plants and trees which take water from their root-zone soil. Furthermore, moisture in [...]
The design of structures on a river, such as dams, spillways, earthen embankments, flood control reservoirs, etc., requires information about the maximum (or peak) flood discharge in the river. For gauged watersheds, one can use the collected data and analyse them to get peak flood in the river. But, for un-gauged watersheds, one has to use empirical relations. In 1985, [...]
