Time AnalysisTime AnalysisTime analyses may assist with determining

economic damages caused by flood water. At any reach and cross section, the time at

which a particular discharge or elevation is exceeded may be determined.

For example, what is the time for which an elevation of 500 feet is exceeded at a particular cross section ?

ElevationFlow or Elevation are both useful for

reaches with valley cross sectionsElevation is generally more useful for

Dim Unit HydrographDim Unit HydrographDUH’s with peak rate factors are available

for values of 100 to 600 at an interval of 50.

These are included in the revised Chapter 16 of NEH – Hydrology.

An example is shown next.

Custom Rain TableCustom Rain TableWinTR-20 has standard rainfall

distribution tables available for selection.These include the commonly used Type II

and Type III.To enter a custom rainfall table, open the

Rainfall Distribution data window.

Input HydrographInput HydrographA hydrograph coming from another source

may be inserted into the stream network.The hydrograph may be coming in from a

neighboring watershed.The hydrograph may have been developed

by another procedure such a dam break hydrograph.
