Question
13 List the reasons given in the video for why stream velocity generally increases with distance downstream 14 First, give the definition of a hydrograph. (Note that while this video shows a period of months on the x-axis, hydrographs can be generated for any time period.) The graph below shows a hydrograph for a single storm event at Snapfinger Creek near Decatur, Georgia. The x-axis represents minutes since the start of the storm event. The y-axis represents discharge in units of cubic feet per second (although not metric, this is a unit for streamflow commonly used by the US Geological Survey). Using the diagram, locate peak discharge on this hydrograph and estimate the approximate magnitude (amount) of this discharge, as well as the approximate minute since the start of the storm event that this peak discharge occurred.
