What is Hydrograph Generator?
Build synthetic unit and design hydrographs including SCS dimensionless UH, triangular hydrographs, and custom peak/volume targets.
When would you use this?
- You need a design hydrograph to route through a basin, culvert, or channel.
- You want a reproducible synthetic shape tied to published dimensionless curves.
How Delta Hydro Studio handles it
- Multiple hydrograph shapes in one workspace.
- Pairs naturally with detention basin and channel tools.
How to use it
- 1
Open the Hydrograph Generator after you have a design peak or volume target.
- 2
Choose a template (SCS dimensionless, triangular, or custom).
- 3
Tune time to peak, duration, and volumes to match your study assumptions.
- 4
Export the hydrograph for routing in the detention basin designer or external models.
Methodology & references
Full equations, assumptions, and literature references appear inside the in-app methodology panels for this tool, aligned with South African guidance (SANRAL TRH, SANCOLD, DWS technical manuals) and international references (USDA NRCS, FHWA HDS) where applicable.
Outputs & exports
Export professional Word and Excel report packs, tabulated results, and GIS-friendly layers depending on the tool. Screenshots in marketing materials are refreshed as the UI evolves — the studio always reflects the latest layout.
