Commons (1942) suggested that a dimensionless hydrograph, the so-called basic hydrograph, would give an acceptable approximation of the flood hydrograph on any basin. (...) It is divided so that the base time is expressed as 100 units, the peak discharge as 60 units and the area as a constant 1.196.5 units.
