The movement of a rainstorm determines the spatial and temporal distributions of the rainfall over a watershed and hence affects the characteristics of the flow on the watershed. In this study the importance of the movement of rainstorms on the time distribution of the surface runoff from watersheds is demonstrated through the use of a laboratory watershed experimentation system. Experiments were performed on the impervious square watershed for 2 rainfall intensities, 4 surface slopes, and 14 rainstorm velocities. Analysis of the mechanics of water flowing on watersheds is attempted to explain the influence of movement of rainstorms on the characteristics of surface runoff hydrographs.
