What is hydrology ?
Introduction Hydrology is broadly defined as the geosciences that describes and predicts the occurrence, circulation, and distribution of water of the earth and its atmosphere.
Why we study hydrology?
The study of hydrology helps us to know:- Maximum probable flood and its frequency; necessary for design of drains and culverts, dams and reservoirs, channels and other flood control structures. Water yield from a basin - its occurrence, quantity and frequency; necessary for the design of dams, municipal water supply, water power, river navigation, The ground water development for which a knowledge of the hydrogeology of the area. Maximum intensity of storm and its frequency for the design of a drainage project in the area.
Water is a finite Resources both in terms of spatial and temporal availability. The use of water at any one time is therefore subtractible , meaning that the use by somebody may preclude the use by somebody else Increasing subtraction of water at upstream will decrease supply downstream eventually fomenting conflicts In engineering term: We can quantify the availability of water Measurement, Water balance analysis, etc 7
The Hydrologic Cycle P Runoff Runoff Evap ET Evap Streams Lake Reservoir GW Atmospheric Moisture
Runoff is that balance of rain water, which flows or runs over the natural ground surface after losses by evaporation, interception and infiltration. The yield of a catchment is the net quantity of water available for storage, after all losses, for the purposes of water resources utilization and planning, like irrigation, water supply, etc. Maximum flood discharge is the discharge in times of flooding of the catchment area, i.e., when the intensity of rainfall is greatest and the condition of the catchment regarding humidity is also favorable for an appreciable runoff. The maximum flood that any structure can safely pass is called the “ design flood” and is selected after consideration of economic and hydrologic factors.
The most important task to be conducted before the design of any hydraulic and irrigation structure :- Collecting relevant data, Test of the appropriateness of data‘s and Analysis of data by applying appropriate methods. Errors in the estimates of peak flood will result in a structure that is either under sized or over sized.
Data type and Sources Depending upon the problem at hand, a hydrologist would need data relating to the various relevant aspects of the hydrologic cycle. These data may include:- Weather records: - temperature, humidity, and wind velocity, Precipitation data, Stream-flow records, Infiltration and transpiration data, Evaporation characteristics of the area, Ground water characteristics, Physical and geological characteristics of the area under consideration.
Sources of Data: Meteorological data ----From EMSA. Stream flow data---From MoWR or any other concerned bureaus or departments. Data on Evaporation, transpiration, infiltration--MoA, or water resources or any other concerned departments. The physical data of the area---EMA or specific studies conducted at the respective areas.
The following factors which affect the runoff are evaluated for hydrologic analysis:- Drainage basin characteristics including: size, shape, slope, land use, geology, soil type, surface infiltration, and storage Size of watershed: Generally, runoff rates and volumes increase with increasing drainage area. Watershed shape: a long, narrow watershed is likely to experience lower runoff rates than a short, wide watershed of the same size and other characteristics. Slope: The rate of runoff increases with increasing slope. Furthermore, rates of runoff decrease with increasing depression storage and detention storage volumes.
Stream channel characteristics including geometry and configuration, natural and artificial controls, channel modification, aggradation - degradation, and debris Flood plain characteristics and Meteorological characteristics such as rainfall amounts and type, time rate of rainfall (hyetograph)
Return period Frequency is the number of times a flood of a given magnitude can be expected to occur on average over a long period of time. Frequency analysis is the estimation of peak discharges for various recurrence intervals. Another way to express frequency is with probability. Probability analysis seeks to define the flood flow with a probability of being equaled or exceeded in any year.
Design flood frequency is expressed by return period, i.e., the probability (expressed in years) where a flood of a target size/magnitude is likely to occur. The probability of occurrence of a flood (having a recurrence interval T- yr ) in any year, i.e., the probability of exceedance, is or the percent chance of its occurrence in any one year, i.e., frequency ( F ) is & the probability that it will not occur in a given year, i.e., the probability of non- exceedance , P‘ = 1 - P
While designing a weir, provision must be made for the flood that is likely to occur during the lifetime of the structure. However, one can neither choose a very high nor a very low flood magnitude for the design. A very high flood never occurs during the lifetime of the structure. If such magnitude it will result in a costly structure. On the other hand, if a very low flood magnitude is chosen for the design and exceeded, it will result in the failure of the structure, Therefore designer must chose a design frequency appropriate for the structure.
The recommend peak river discharge for diversion weir design are 25 to 50 & 50 to 100 years return period for small & medium scale structures respectively (MoWR,2001).
Time of concentration The time of concentration ( Tc ) is the time at which the entire watershed begins to contribute to runoff. This is calculated as the time taken for runoff to flow from the most hydraulically remote point in the watershed to the outlet. Tc influences the peak discharge. For the same size watershed, the shorter the Tc , the larger the peak discharge . This means that peak discharge has an inverse relationship with Tc .
The time of concentration can be computed by Kirpich‘s equation which is widely used to estimate Tc : Where: Tc = Time of concentration ( hr ) L = Length of the main water course (m) S = slope of the main water course (m/m)
Exercise Determine the time of concentration for a given watershed having the following data: Longest stream length = 798.2 m Elevation @ U/S (m) = 3067.50 m Elevation @ D/S (m) = 2946.90 m

simple arithmetic average Choose three rain gauge stations as close to and as evenly spaced around the station with missing record (station X). Collect the rainfall data for the three stations (1,2,3) on the day(s) for which the data at station X are missing. The average annual rainfall values at all the four stations (1,2,3,X) should also be known. If the average annual rainfalls of stations 1,2 &3 differ with in 10% of the average annual rainfall of station X, then simple arithmetic average of the three index stations will give the estimate for the missing record. i.e,
If N 1 , N2, N 3 and N x represent AARFof stations 1,2,3, & X respectively and when the average annual precipitation at any of these three differ from that of the station by more than 10%, the normal ratio method is used.
Example : Precipitation station X was inoperative for part of a month during which a storm occured. The respective storm totals at three surrounding stations A,B,and C were 107, 89, & 122mm. The normal annual precipitation amounts of stations X, A, B and C are respectively 978, 1220, 935 & 1200mm. Estimate the storm precipitaion for station X.
Solution N x = 978mm & 10% N x = 97.8mm. Thus maximum permissible annual precipitation of any of the three stations for taking ordinary mean = 978 +97.8 = 1075.8mm < 1120 & 1200mm. Hence, the annual precipitations at three stations differ by more than 10% of N x . Hence, weighted mean should be used. That is
Element of statistics for hydrological data The following are the sample statistics that are commonly used in fitting distributions for hydrological analysis. (1) Sample mean Sample mean is generally used to represent measures of central tendency. Where n is the number of sample size (2) Sample standard deviation Sample standard deviation is the measure of the spread of the distribution around the central value/mean. The square of the sample standard deviation is the variance, s2.
The standard deviation divided by the mean is called the coefficient of variation. It is a dimensionless desperation parameter.
4) Sample Skew coefficient Skew measure the symmetry of a distribution. The lack of symmetry of a distribution is called skewness or asymmetry. The sample skew is given by: The degree of the skewness of the distribution is usually measured by the “coefficient of skewness ” (Cs) and is given by:
(5) Kurtosis Kurtosis provides information about the peakdness of the central portion of the distribution & is given by:
Checking rainfall Data Reliability Standard error of mean, = Relative standard = where n-1 =standard deviation Xm = mean n= sample size Hence the data series could be regarded as reliable and adequate if the relative standard is less than 10%.
Example Number of data = 39 Standard deviation, 12.38 Mean, X m = 51.81mm
Testing for outliers The procedure followed for detection and treatment of high and low outliers are summarized below:- If the station skew is greater than +0.4, test for high outliers are considered first; If the station skew is less than -0.4, tests for low outliers are considered first; Where the station skew is between ±0.4, test for both high and low outlier should be applied before eliminating any outliers from the data set.
As quoted by Rao , Grubs and Beck (1972) used the following equations to calculate outliers. In this test the quantities X H and X L are calculated by using: Where x=mean and s = STDV of the natural logarithms of the sample, KN = frequency factor and N = number of samples At 10% significant level, the following approximation for KN, proposed by Pilon et al (1985) for N number of sample size. Sample values >XH ---- high outliers Sample values < XL ---- low outliers

Probability distribution Since most hydrologic events are represented by continuous random variables, their density functions denote the probability distribution of the magnitudes. Some of the frequently used density functions in hydrologic analysis are given below: Normal distribution Lognormal distribution Extreme value distribution Extreme value type I distribution ( Gumbel distribution, 1941) Extreme value type II distribution ( Frechert , 1927) Extreme value type III distribution ( weilbull , 1939) Pearson‘s Type-III distribution Logarithmic Pearson Type-III distribution EVI distribution and Log Pearson Type III distribution which are commonly used for used extreme hydrological series are described here in this manual.

Design or peak flood estimation The flood used for spillway design against failure is termed as the “Project design flood”. It can usually be determined by estimating the runoff that results from an occurrence of design storm based on meteorological factors. This hydro-meteorological based flood estimating is necessary and the only way because stream flow records often are not available at the required.
To estimate the magnitude of a flood peak, the following alternative methods are available:- Rational formula USSCS (United states soil conservation service) method Empirical formula Synthetic unit hydrograph technique Regional Flood frequency analysis. In this particular training we will see the first two methods only.
The use of each particular method depends on:- The desired objective The available data The importance of the project Size of the catchment area.
1. Rational Formula It is suitable where the time of concentration may be less than 1 hour. It is applicable in urban drainage design and in the design of small culverts and bridges. Even for larger watershed if it is possible to obtain accurate rainfall intensity (Michael, 1999).
The equation of the rational method is given by:- Where, Q: design peak discharge (m 3 /sec). C= runoff coefficient that can be taken from table. I = rainfall intensity in mm/h for the design return period and for a duration equal to the “time of concentration” of the watershed. A= the watershed area (km 2 ).
The C values are applicable for storms of 5-yr to 10-yr frequencies. Less frequent, higher intensity storms will require modification of the coefficient because infiltration and other losses have a proportionally smaller effect on runoff. The adjustment of the Rational method for use with major storms can be made by multiplying the right side of the rational formula by a frequency factor C f . The rational formula now becomes:
Frequency Factors for Rational Formula
Runoff Coefficient The runoff coefficient, C is a dimensionless ratio intended to indicate the amount of Runoff generated by a watershed given an average intensity of precipitation for a storm. It is implied by the rational method, that intensity of runoff is proportional to intensity of rainfall. Calibration of the runoff coefficient has depended on comparing the total depth of runoff with the total depth of precipitation , Where R = Total depth of runoff (mm), and P = Total depth of precipitation (mm).
The recommended runoff coefficient (C) for pervious surfaces by selected hydrologic soil groupings and slope ranges. Where the watershed comprises more than one characteristic, the C values for each area segment is estimated individually and then a weighted C value is calculated using the following equation:
Where: C = weighted (composite) runoff coefficient C1, C2, C3,… Cn = runoff coefficients applicable to areas A1, A2, A3 … An n = number of different type of area within watershed At = total area = A1+A2+A3+…An
Intensity of rainfall It is the rate at which rainfall occurs and expressed in cm/hr or mm /hr or mm/day. Getting intensity of rainfall for a certain area is a great challenge. The non-recording type of rain-gage records only depth of rainfall . Recording type rain-gage records both depth and duration of rainfall in the form of mass curve on rain-gage chart. For non recording type of rain-gage, intensity is obtained by dividing the total rainfall depth with its duration.
Example: From the total catchment area of 4ha, 2ha is covered by clay soil of flat terrain, 1ha is rolling terrain cover by sandy soil and 1ha is covered by silt loam soil of mountainous terrain. What will be the weighted runoff coefficient that can be used to estimate the design discharge of the catchment? Weighted C = (2ha×0.18)+(1ha×0.12)+ (1ha×0.21) 2+1+1 ha = 0.173
When there is no choice of getting intensity of rainfall the following techniques are employed 1. Regional IDF curves or 2. Richard's equation can be used for simple estimation of intensity: Where P= 24 hr design precipitation (computed), T= rainfall duration usually = 6hrs tc =time of concentration for the watershed outlet.
Intensity Duration Frequency (IDF) curve An IDF is a three parameter curve, in which intensity of a certain return period is related to duration (time of concentration) of rainfall. A more generalized Intensity- Duration – Frequency is given by Sherman equation :- where K, x, a and n are constants for a given catchment. T= recurrence interval (T) and t= time of concentration

Exercise Determine the rainfall intensity and peak runoff produced by a watershed near to Debre Tabor by Rational method. Size of the catchment = 5 km2 Time of concentration = 0.445 hr Runoff coefficient = 0.15 Use ERA 2013 IDF curve
2.USSCS method It is originated from conservation that a hydrograph could be represented in a simple geometric form as a triangle.
2.2 Watershed parameter Data’s Total catchments area (A) in km 2 from DEM Automatic watershed delineation using Arc GIS or 1:50,000 scale Topo-map. Length of Main river course with in the watershed from the weir site to the far divide of the catchment. It is also obtained from Automatic delineation or 1:50,000 scale Topo-map. Elevation difference of the main river course from the weir site to the far divide of the catchment from DEM.
Automatic watershed delineation Arc GIS interface Arc SWAT software is used. Take elevation values at point 1, 2, 3 and 4 from the DEM or simply at 1and 4. tc =t1+t2+t3 where tc is total time of concentration the main water course from watershed divide to the proposed diversion (L)
Time of concentration Kirpich formula to calculate total time of concentration:- L = L1+L2+L3 H=(H1+H2+H3)/3 As MoA in 1994 If Tc < =3hr then rainfall duration can be taken as D= 0.5 hr If 3 < Tc <10 hr then rainfall duration can be taken as D=1hr If Tc > 10hr then rainfall duration can be taken as D=2hr
Once we know the duration D interval, then Time to peak, tp =0.5*D+0.6* Tc Time base, tb =2.67* tp and Lag time, tl =0.6* tc From this peak unit rate of discharge QP=0.21*A/ tp in m3/s/mm
runoff curve number ( CN ) The runoff curve number is an empirical parameter used in hydrology for predicting direct runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess. The runoff curve number was developed from an empirical analysis of runoff from small catchments and hill slope plots monitored by the USDA (Chow, 2004). It is widely used and is an efficient method for determining the approximate amount of direct runoff from a rainfall event in a particular area. The runoff curve number is based on the area's hydrologic soil group , land use , treatment and hydrologic condition. used to estimate runoff from small- to Medium-sized watersheds.

The runoff equation is Where Q is runoff (mm) , P is rainfall (mm) , S is the potential maximum soil moisture retention (mm) , I a is the initial abstraction (mm) it is generally assumed that I a = 0.2 S. The runoff curve number, CN , is then related CN has a range from 0 to 100, and the equation is in metric unit.
lower numbers indicate low runoff potential while larger numbers are for increasing runoff potential. The lower the curve number, the more permeable the soil is. CN for wet antecedent moistures condition III (AMC-III) is simply obtained from table. if it is in AMC- II form, will be converted using the following relationship: Derivation of the above equations will result the following final known equation (Chow, 2004) Where R is accumulated direct runoff (mm), S is rainfall to infiltration potential ratio (Decimal), and P is accumulated rainfall or potential maximum runoff (mm),
Graphical Peak discharge Methods (TR55) The following equation is used for the estimation of peak discharge by Graphical peak discharge method: Where: Qp = peak discharge, m3/s qu = unit peak discharge, m3/s/km2/mm A = drainage area, km2 Q = Depth of runoff, mm
The unit peak discharge is obtained from the following equation, which requires the time of concentration ( Tc ) in hours and the initial abstraction rainfall ( Ia /p) ratio as input: Where: C0, C1 & C2 = regression coefficient given in Table for various Ia /P ratio & distribution type II = unit conversion factor equal to 0.000431 in SI unit Tc = time of concentration (hours)
Coefficients for SCS Peak Discharge Method Coefficients for SCS Peak Discharge Method This method has a number of limitations which can have an impact on the accuracy of estimated peak flows: Basin should have fairly homogeneous CN values CN should be 40 or greater Tc should be between 0.1 and 10 hr Ia /P should be between 0.1 and 0.5

Design storm rainfall Extreme values of rainfall are of prime interests as inputs to simulation models used to estimate design floods. Point rainfall is the rainfall at a single station occurring at single point in space as opposed to areal rainfall which is over a region. The annual maximum rainfall for a given duration is used as input for estimating point rainfall.
