Ans 1: The stream hydrograph depicted above is a graphical way of portraying the change in discharge over time, and it relates to inputs of water and the environment in which the stream is located. The Y-axis of the hydrograph is scaled for discharge and X-axis is scaled for time. Discharge is plotted as a line and precipitation is depicted at the initial point. The hydrograph shows discharge starting at its base flow, rising to a peak and then declining back to its base flow. The peak in discharge, however, does not occur at the time of precipitation. Hence, there is a lag period between the time when the precipitation occurs and when the most discharge is ...
