The Rational Unit Hydrograph has a time to peak equal to the time of concentration. Both the rising and receding limbs of the hydrograph have a duration equal to the time of concentration, and therefore the shape of the hydrograph is an isosceles triangle with a time base of as shown below. This method is chosen by specifying the Modified Hydrograph Method using 1.0 for the recession limb coefficient and for the storm duration.
