Two small urban residential catchments, namely Jurong West (JW) (1 ha) and Ang Mo Kio (AMK) (0.6 ha) in Singapore have been
selected as sites to investigate hysteresis patterns and hydrological responses from catchments' pervious surfaces and
different types of impervious, namely directly connected impervious areas (DCIA) and non-directly connected impervious areas
(Non-DCIA)during rain events. Results from February 2005 till May 2005 have been analyzed. Table 1 \begin{tabular}{|1| |1|

\hline \end{tabular} From the selected rain events
(Table 1), duration for direct runoff from impervious surfaces for JW and AMK catchments ranges from 10 - 15 minutes and 4-
10 minutes respectively. Antecedent dry period did not play a critical role in influencing time-lag for both catchments.
Although rise in magnitude of rain event does not proportionally lead to decrease in lag time, it is more influential as
compared to antecedent dry period factor. Majority of time of rise for each rain event is 10 - 15 minutes and 4- 10 minutes
for JW and AMK respectively. This indicates a direct runoff from constant degree of impervious surfaces. The influence of the
magnitude of rain event rather than impervious surfaces was also shown in multi-rain events (Table 2). It has been shown
that in most cases, a lower magnitude of consecutive rain event will increase lag time of preceding rain event. Table 2

\hline \end{tabular} Results showed clockwise hysteresis patterns are common (Table 3). This could be
explained by residential carparks upgrading works near gauging stations. Other possible sources include sediment from DCIA
impervious surfaces.
