The hydrographs which are obtained by directly measuring the runoff rates from watersheds are called as-

  • A.Dimensionless hydrographs
  • B.Unit hydrographs
  • C.Natural hydrographs
  • D.Basic hydrographs

Answer: C

They are called Natural hydrographs.

A natural hydrograph is plotted directly from the observed discharge of a stream, by measuring runoff rates at the outlet of a watershed over time during and after a storm.

Unit, dimensionless and synthetic hydrographs are derived ones. A unit hydrograph is computed from natural hydrographs for 1 cm of excess rainfall, and a dimensionless hydrograph expresses discharge and time as ratios to their peak values. 'Basic hydrograph' is not a standard type.
