Channel‐storage and unit‐hydrograph studies

September 18, 1940

Recent studies of the rainfal‐and‐runoff relation tend towards treatment of the subject in two parts, namely, (1) the ground‐phase, which includes the study of such processes as infiltration and evaporation, and (2) the channel‐phase, which comprehends the study of the flow of water in the channel‐system with particular reference to flood‐wave movement. This paper discusses the channel‐phase.
