Precipitation is expressed in terms of the vertical depth to which water from it would stand on a level surface area if all the water from it were collected on this surface. The depth is to which water would accumulate ...

Precipitation – Types and Features
Precipitation is the process by which all forms of water reach back to earth from the atmosphere. Precipitation occurs in the form of rainfall, frost, hail, and dew. Among all, rainfall and snowfall contribute a significant amount of water. In ...
Hydrology and Hydrological Cycle in Water Resource Engineering
Hydrology and hydrological cycle are important science that deals with the depletion and the replenishment of the water resources. The knowledge of hydrology is necessary to perform design, operation and maintenance of the water resource engineering projects. What is Hydrology? ...
What Is Hydraulic Jump? Types and Characteristics of Hydraulic Jump
Hydraulic jump is standing wave formed when depth of water changes from supercritical to subcritical state. Types of hydraulic jump based on froude number is discussed.
ESTIMATION OF EVAPOTRANSPIRATION
The hydrologic budget for a catchment in a given duration can be written as •This water budget can be used to estimate AET, if other terms are known or measured or estimated. Measurement of ET For a given type of ...
EVAPOTRANSPIRATION
Transpiration It is the process by which water (taken up by the plant from the soil through its root system) leaves the body of a living plant through the stomatal openings in its leaves and reaches the atmosphere as water ...
Evaporation and its Methods of Measurement
What is Evaporation and How it Occurs? Before rainfall reaches the outlet of a basin as runoff, certain demands of the catchment such as interception, depression storage and infiltration have to be met. Besides these, evaporation and transpiration processes transfer ...
PROBABLE MAXIMUM PRECIPITATION (PMP)
PROBABLE MAXIMUM PRECIPITATION (PMP) • PMP is used in the design of major hydraulic structures such as spillways in large dams • There appears to be a physical upper limit to the amount of precipitation that can occur over a ...
