Am I taking stupid pills, or is the whole unit hydrograph/hyetograph/etc methodology as convoluted as can possibly be presented (at least in the sources I've got so far)....if anyone can explain these concepts and specifically the process of converting a unit hydrograph into a total discharge given a storm duration and rainfall intensity, I mean this stuff is worse than the transportation methodologies, taking something relatively simple and making as convoluted as possible, good grief!!

Glad you figured it out. I learned it for the exam and forgot it. I do remember that it seemed to be a hard concept to grasp.

You are absolutely right!

My thought is that those methods were developed before calculators, so they seem archaic now.

Yes. I agree.
