HYDROGRAPHS:
 Hydrographs show the response of a river to a rainfall event. It plots
rainfall and river discharge
 Lag time is the time between peak rainfall and peak discharge
 Rivers with a short lag time respond rapidly to rainfall events and
are therefore more prone to flooding.
 Rivers with a long lag time respond slowly to rainfall events and are
therefore less prone to flooding
