Routing a hillslope hydrograph through the network 1: Rainfall is transformed by the hillslopes into a hydrograph which is delivered throughout the network. 2: Hydrographs from A take longer to travel to the outlet than those from B, and those from C arrive sooner still. 3. When these are combined, the outlet hydrograph is more drawn out, and the peaks from A, B, C do not coincide
