Hydrology and Runoff

Subtopic: Hydrograph Analysis and Watershed Routing

Question Statement:

In Snyder's synthetic unit hydrograph method, the basin lag $t_p$ is expressed as:

Options:

  • (A) $t_p = C_t (L \cdot L_c)^{0.3}$
  • (B) $t_p = C_t (L / L_c)^{0.5}$
  • (C) $t_p = C_t \sqrt{A}$
  • (D) $t_p = C_t L^{0.77}$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Snyder's empirical formula for basin lag is $t_p = C_t (L L_c)^{0.3}$, where $L$ is main stream length and $L_c$ is distance from outlet to centroid.
