The Effects of Physical Factors on the Storm Hydrograph The Storm Hydrograph refers to graphs that show how a drainage basin responds to a period of rainfall. Storm hydrographs are very important in predicting the flood risk and in making the necessary precautions to avoid damage to property and loss of life. Physical factors are the biotic factors which affect organisms and their surroundings‚ their surroundings in this case being the drainage basin and therefore the storm hydrograph is affected

a lofty birth‚ in the great heights of the Himalayas‚ thanks mainly to melting snows. I should expect that if the snowfall precipitation is poor in a year – like our monsoon rainfall precipitation could turn out to be very poor in a year leading to a drought situation – then Ganga and Yamuna should run very scanty‚ but that never seems to happen! Can someone explain to me if snowfalls upon the Himalayas every year happen to be nearly constant? River Yamuna finds mention even in Rig Veda‚ our

1. The pressure announced on last night’s television weather broadcast was 29.92. Explain how this was measured and give the units. Would this be considered an unusually large or low pressure value? A pressure announced on the weather forecast of 29.92 is an average measurement. It is measured with a barometer and in the United States the units of measure are inches of mercury‚ or inHg. This is what meteorologist are referring to in their forecasts. 29.92 inHg is a measurement within the normal
