1. Which is not true about storm hydrographs?

They are also known as flood hydrographs

It shows increasing river discharge after a rain/precipitation event in the basin

It occurs once to discharge during the rain season

There is no such thing

3. How does urbanisation affect the shape of a hydrograph? Choose all the right answers.

Longer lag time

Higher peak discharge

Steeper rising limb

Rising limb becomes less steep

Lower peak discharge

Shorter discharge

Longer peak discharge
