a distance hydrograph resulting from a one unit depth of rainfall excess oa a specified
duration occurring uniformly over the watershed area
unit hydrograph
no dry season with a very pronounced maximum rainfall from November to january
Type II
Type I - two pronounced season
Type III - no pronounced season
Type IV - rainfall evenly distributed
is a special formation that can store groundwater but can only transmit it at slow rates
aquitard
is a formation that contains groundwater but is not capable of transmitting it at sufficient
quantities
aquiclude
type of rainfall that occurs when air masses converge into a low pressure area resulting to their eventual ascension. A specific type of cyclonic rainfall is frontal precipitation, which involves the meeting of a warm and a cold front.
cyclonic precipitation
type of precipitation that occurs as a result of convective heating of the ground surface causing the warm and lighter air parcel to rise above the cold, denser surroundings thus causing the lifting of the air mass which consequently leads to precipitation
convective precipitation

is the ratio of the pore volume to the total bulk volume of the soil
soil porosity
is the ratio of the pore volume to the volume of the soil
void ratio
instrument used in meteorological science to measure the humidity, or amount of water vapour in the air.
hygrometer
An instrument that can’t be seen in a typical station. It measures ground movement
seismometer
The ratio of water beneficially used on the project farm or field to the amount of water delivered to the farm.
water use efficiency
female cattle between two or three years of age which has not given birth.
heifer
overflow structure built across a river to raise the upstream water level in order to
facilitate the water diversion into the main canal by gravity
gravity dam
installed at the head of the main canal, lateral and main farm ditch to admit and regulate the flow into the canal
headgate / head regulator / intake structure
installed immediately downstream of the junction of an irrigation canal to raise the water level upstream in order to facilitate its diversion into the branching canal
checkgate or cross regulator
special intake structure that serves as an outlet of irrigation water into the main farm ditch or service area
turnout
hydraulic structure that splits the flow from parent canal by at least 25%. Below 25% is
called turnout.
flow divisor
diverts the flow into one or more supplementary farm ditches
division box
built along a supplementary farm ditch at the head of the internal farm ditch to control and regulate the flow.
offtake
structure built at the tail end of the farm ditch to allow the safe entry of excess
irrigation water into the drainage canals
end check / tail gate
discharge measurement structure that constricts the flow by narrowing the width of the channel section. The most common is the parshall flume – bridge for water irrigation
weir
structure that conveys water across and above natural depressions such as creeks or rivers
bench flume
a structure that conveys water across but underneath natural depressions
inverted siphon
hydraulic structure that dissipates energy and connect mildly sloping irrigation
canals built along a steeply sloping land
drop / fall structure
