What is S-curve method in Hydrograph?

The S-curve is a method of deriving a unit hydrograph for a desired duration from one or another duration through the use of an S-curve. It is a graph showing the summation of the ordinates of a series of unit hydrographs spaced at unit-rainfall duration intervals. It represents the hydrograph of the unit rate of rainfall excess continued indefinitely.

What is meant by Unit Hydrograph?

A unit hydrograph is a direct runoff hydrograph resulting from one unit (one inch or one cm) of constant intensity uniform rainfall occurring over the entire watershed. The role of unit hydrograph in hydrology is to provide an estimate of direct runoff hydrograph resulting from a given excess rainfall hyetograph.

How to Calculate S-Curve Addition?

S-Curve Addition calculator uses S-Curve Addition = S-Curve at Time 't'-Ordinates of Unit Hydrograph to calculate the S-Curve Addition, The S-Curve Addition formula is defined as the summation of the ordinate of the D-h Unit hydrograph at time 't' equalizes the ordinate of the S-curve at any time t. S-Curve Addition is denoted by S_tD symbol.
