In reservoirs with an uncontrolled spillway, the peak of the plot
| In reservoirs with an uncontrolled spillway, the peak of the plotted outflow hydrograph
A. lies outside the plotted inflow hydrograph
B. lies on the recession limb of the plotted inflow hydrograph
C. lies on the peak of the inflow hydrograph
D. is higher than the peak of the plotted inflow hydrograph

Right Answer is: B
SOLUTION
When outflow from a reservoir is uncontrolled as in freely operating spillways, the peak in outflow hydrograph will occur at the point of intersection of the inflow and out flow or at the recession limb of the inflow hydrograph.
