Runoff Curve Number CN The SCS runoff equation is. It was originally designed to be an Inter-Agency tool for the estimation of runoff.
It was also found that the method accurately estimated surface run-off at high rainfall intensity.
Curve number method for estimating runoff. USDASCS Curve Number Method. SCS curve numbers are used to estimate the amount of precipitation which becomes runoff and the amount which infiltrates into the soil. The curve numbers shown graphically in figure 15 are selected from tabulated values for fallow or appropriate land use treatment and hydrologic conditions crop condition plus an antecedent moisture adjustment.
There are several approaches to estimate the runoff. The Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number SCS-CN method developed by National Resources Conservation Service NRSC United States Department of Agriculture USDA is simple predictable and stable conceptual method for estimation of direct runoff depth based on storm rainfall depth. In the present study SCS-CN method was used for.
19 rows SCS Curve Number Method The SCS curve number method is a simiple widely used and. The Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number SCS-CN method developed by National Resources Conservation Service NRSC United States Department of Agriculture USDA in 1969 is simple predictable and stable conceptual method for estimation of. Conservation Service or NRCS in the 1950s for internal use the Curve Number method for estimating direct runoff from rainstorms is now widely used in engineering design post- event appraisals and environmental impact estimation.
Background for this is found in the NRCS. Curve numbers CN are used to represent watershed characteristics that influence runoff. Each chart represents one of seven curve numbers ranging from 60 to 90 in increments of 5.
The NRCS runoff equation was developed to estimate total storm runoff from total storm rainfall. That is the relationship excludes time as a variable. Rainfall intensity is ignored.
An early version of the relation-ship was described by Mockus 1949. The material that follows evolved from that 1949 report. A Development The curve number runoff equation is.
Q PI PI S PI QPI a a a a 2 0. The SCS Runoff Curve Number The RCN Runoff Curve Number method was originally established by the SCS in 1954. It was originally designed to be an Inter-Agency tool for the estimation of runoff.
It was therefore never subjected to peer or journal review by anyone outside the SCS. Curve number method Where F Actual retention mm. S Potential maximum retention mm.

Surface Runoff Estimation Using Grid-Based Curve Number Method in the. The curve number method generally performed well in simulating surface run-off in the studied watersheds. There was no difference in the performance of the curve number method in simulating surface run-off under low and high antecedent rainfall.
It was also found that the method accurately estimated surface run-off at high rainfall intensity. A values for runoff curve numbers. 4-1 4-2 Adjustment factor F p for pond and swamp areas that are spread throughout the watershed.

The SCS Runoff Curve Number method is developed by the United States Department of Agriculture USDA Soil Conservation Service SCS and is a method of estimating rainfall excess from rainfall Hjelmfelt 1991. The method is described in detail in National Engineering Handbook 2004. The curve number method was used to estimate the runoff depth for selected storm events in the watershed.
655 Methods of Estimation In most cases storm water runoff can be calculated using the Rational Method. Total rainfall if no initial abstraction. Runoff Curve Number CN The SCS runoff equation is.
P-Ia2 Q P-Ia S Where Q runoff inches P rainfall inches Ia initial abstraction inches S. SCS Curve Number Loss. The Soil Conservation Service SCS curve number method implements the curve number methodology for incremental losses NRCS 2007.
The SCS curve number loss method should only be used for event simulation. Originally the methodology was intended to calculate total infiltration during a storm. The well-known Curve Number CN method is used to estimate runoff depth Q from rainfall depth P and is used worldwide in a variety of applications.
Since its genesis in the 1950s by the USDA Soil Conservation Service now Natural Resources Conservation Service or NRCS it has. Service - Curve Number Method is used to estimate the surface runoff. The Soil Conservation Service Curve Number SCS-CN method is widely used in determination of surface run-off in long-term continuous hydrologic simulation models.
The appropriate area-weighted curve number for the study area is computed using overlaying tool of ArcGIS.
