Line 1: Line 1:
The Modified Rational Hydrograph also assumes that the time to peak is equal to the t<sub>c</sub>, but allows for the duration of the storm to be longer than t<sub>c</sub>, resulting in a trapezoidal shaped hydrograph as shown below. A coefficient to modify the slope of the receding limb may also be applied with this method.

where:
 
* t<sub>c</sub> = time of concentration.
* Q = Flow at time t, in cfs.
* Q<sub>p</sub> = Peak flow.
* r = falling limb coefficient
* s<sub>d</sub> = storm duration
