    hydrograph has a short lag time‚ high peak discharge‚ and steep rising and falling limbs; a ’damped’ hydrograph is the opposite.

Hello MAtthew The shape of a hydrograph changes according to a number of controlling factors in the drainage basin. An example is the amount of VEGETATION / SOILS (INFILTRATION CAPACITY) LEVEL OF URBANISATION LAND

    What is gully erosion? Gully erosion is the removal of soil along drainage lines by surface water runoff. Once started‚ gullies will continue to move by headward erosion or by slumping of the side walls unless steps are taken to stabilise the disturbance. Repair work done in the early stages of newly formed gullies is easier and more economical than letting the problem go unchecked for too long. Large gullies are difficult and costly to repair. What causes gully erosion ? Gully erosion occurs

    In mathematics‚ the Klein bottle ([klaɪ̯n]) is a non-orientable surface‚ informally‚ a surface (a two-dimensional manifold) with no identifiable "inner" and "outer" sides. Other related non-orientable objects include the Möbius strip and the real projective plane. Whereas a Möbius strip is a two-dimensional surface with boundary‚ a Klein bottle has no boundary. (For comparison‚ a sphere is an orientable surface with no boundary.) The Klein bottle was first described in 1882 by the German mathematician
