Question

Match the basin types A, B and C with the hydrograph patterns P, Q and R

Basin types  Hydrograph pattern 
A.
P.
B.
Q.
C.
R.

The correct answer is
A - Q; B - R; C - P

To determine the correct matching between basin types and hydrograph patterns, we need to understand the characteristics of each.

  1. Basin Types:
  • represents a certain physical layout or feature of a catchment area.
  • represents another diverse configuration or arrangement.
  • indicates a different basin structure with its unique attributes.
  1. Hydrograph Patterns:
  • shows discharge variation over time for a particular basin type.
  • reflects another discharge pattern.
  • depicts yet another type of flow pattern.

Given the imagery and options, the correct matching is:

  • A - Basin Type: The wide dispersal of the layout suggests moderate flow change, matching with Q - Hydrograph Pattern which shows a gradual rise and fall.
  • B - Basin Type: The structural density leads to quick runoff, matching with R - Hydrograph Pattern which demonstrates a sharp peak.
  • C - Basin Type: The elongated shape suggests delayed peak, matching with P - Hydrograph Pattern which indicates a longer time to reach peak discharge.

Conclusion: The correct answer is A - Q; B - R; C - P.
