This document discusses hydrology and fluvial geomorphology concepts including: - The water balance and how water moves through drainage basins, including surface storage and groundwater storage. - How rainfall and basin characteristics influence storm hydrographs and river discharge. - The different types of water flow through soil and bedrock, including percolation. - River processes of erosion, transportation, and deposition as well as landforms created by these processes. - How human activities can impact river flows through changes in land use, water abstraction and storage, and urbanization.

3. Describe the differences between the discharges of rivers X and Y in response to the rainfall hydrographs over 24 hours of the two rivers. Catchments of rivers X & Y Using both diagram explain why the discharge of the two rivers are different Explain how each of these influence storm hydrograph: Drainage basin shape, geology, rainfall intensity, drainage density
