Question:
Flow duration curve is a plot of ____
Flow duration curve is a plot of ____
Show Hint
Hydrologic curves:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
\text{Hydrograph} &\rightarrow \text{Flow vs Time}\\
\text{Flow Duration Curve} &\rightarrow \text{Flow exceeded vs Percentage Time}
\end{aligned}
}
\]

- Flow against its time of occurrence in chronological order
- Flow in ascending order against percentage time in chronological order
- Flow that equalled or exceeded against percentage time
- Flow against duration of time for which it is situated
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall the definition of a Flow Duration Curve (FDC).
A Flow Duration Curve represents the percentage of time during which a specified streamflow is equalled or exceeded.
Step 2: Identify the correct description. Therefore, it is a plot of \[ \boxed{\text{Flow equalled or exceeded versus percentage time}.} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{(C)} \] is the correct answer.
Step 2: Identify the correct description. Therefore, it is a plot of \[ \boxed{\text{Flow equalled or exceeded versus percentage time}.} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{(C)} \] is the correct answer.
