Jun 4, 2001 · Hydrograph: A flood wave passing a particular place in the river. It represents how the stage (water elevation) or the flow in a river changes with time. Return Period: This is an expression of the probability of a particular rainfall depth of a given duration occurring.

May 14, 2001 · Equivalent water depths were estimated from runoff hydrographs that drained from surrounding lands into the flood plains. These runoff hydrographs were developed using the HEC-1 procedure by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (1990).

Aug 16, 2001 · Owing to the unavailability of a substantial rainfall database for Nevis Island (only 1 year of rainfall data was available) rainfall for St. Kitts was used to derive the critical storm and subsequently the critical runoff hydrographs for the1 in 2, 1 in 10 and the 1 in 100 year rainfall.

NWS River Observations and Forecasts A color-coded map indicates current river levels or flood stages for more than 6,500 streamgages in U.S. states and territories. Zoom to a region of interest and hover over any dot to generate a hydrograph of recently observed water levels at that site.

Oct 16, 2018 · Hydrographs can take different shapes dependent upon the characteristics of the drainage basin. The various flows and stores of the drainage basin are affected by these characteristics, and these in turn will affect the shape of the …

The river rises in the Mamores mountain range approximately halfway between Ben Nevis and Loch Treig, [1] 370m above sea level. [2] In its upper reaches it is known as Water of Nevis , becoming River Nevis at the bridge near Achriabhach .

Flood hydrographs can predict flooding by showing how different precipitation levels affect a river during a storm. Hydrographs can be of different shapes. The characteristics of a river, its drainage basin and the amount of water entering the system affect the shape of a flood hydrograph.

Aug 2, 2014 · The weather affects discharge so much that there’s a special graph that we can draw called a hydrograph which shows precipitation and discharge on the same graph and makes it easy to see how quickly precipitation affects the discharge of a river.

Detailed flood hazard maps were required at four areas because of various hazards associated with flooding within them. These areas were: In St. Kitts, College Street Ghaut where it passes through Basseterre, Wash Ghaut where it crosses the main island road; in Nevis, Lower Bath Ghaut and Camp River in the vicinity of Nisbett Plantation.
