Understanding hydrographs in real-world scenarios

Many folks underestimate the power of hydrographs in predicting flood events. During my work on a recent project, I relied on these to model runoff effectively for different land uses. Anyone else had success using hydrographs to inform design decisions? I’d love to hear some experiences.

Hydrographs are game-changers! I used them in my last project to assess peak runoff, and it made a huge difference. What’s your go-to method for calibration? :thinking:.
