Purpose

Runoff calculation using Santa Barbara Urban Hydrograph routing method. Uses SCS curve number method for rainfall abstraction.

Instruction

User can choose preset hyetograph or provide her own coefficients. The time of concentrated for the catchment is calculated using lag method. It depends on the slope and the flow path length of the catchment.

Pseudocode

Limitations

  1. Rainfall is not defined for duration greater than 24 hours.
  2. See Atlas 14 to get other geographical areas.
