Question

Given below are two statements: Statement (I): The rising limb of hydrograph, also known as concentration curve represents the increase in discharge due to the gradual building up of storage in channels and over the catchment surface. Statement (II): The basin and storm characteristics control the shape of the rising limb of a hydrograph. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
• C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
• D. Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.

Hint:

The rising limb is controlled by both basin and storm characteristics, whereas the falling limb (recession curve) is governed primarily by basin storage characteristics and is largely independent of storm properties.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
