Show Hint
Parts of a storm hydrograph:
\[
\boxed{
\text{Rising limb}
\rightarrow
\text{Peak}
\rightarrow
\text{Recession limb}
}
\]
Updated On: Jul 23, 2026
- Recession limb
- Base flow
- Rising limb
- Peak segment
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
A storm hydrograph begins with the rising limb, which represents the increase in stream discharge due to rainfall runoff.
It is followed by the peak segment and finally the recession limb.
Hence,
\[
\boxed{\text{Rising limb}}
\]
is the correct answer.
Therefore,
\[
\boxed{(C)}
\]
