Rainfall and runoff are the important components which contribute significantly to the hydrological cycle, in designing different hydrological structures and morphology of the drainage system. The relationship between rainfall and runoff is a complex hydrological phenomenon as it involves various temporal and spatial variations in the physical processes of watersheds as well as rainfall pattern over the region. Therefore, rainfall-runoff relationship study is useful from management of water resources and forecasting point of view. However direct rainfall-runoff estimation is not possible for most of the locations at required time and duration.
It is well know that rainfall processes exhibits a high degree of variability both in space and time. In a tropical country like India, rainfall is the most important agro-climatic parameter to the agricultural activities as well as for ground water recharge for potential ground water. Large numbers of studies are available at national and international level regarding rainfall- runoff relationship for different river basins.
