In addition to loss through infiltration, during a precipitation-runoff process other losses may need to be accounted for as well, which include canopy interception, surface depression storage, and evapotranspiration (ET).…

Initial and Constant Loss Method and Deficit and Constant Loss Method are two common infiltration methods in HEC-HMS and they share the same underlying concept, simply put, after the "initial…
HydroCAD and XPSWMM have the modified rational method built into the programs and it is very convenient to apply the method in either of the modeling tools. One or more…
For small drainage areas, the rational method is widely used to calculate peak flows of different drainage design levels to size storm sewer, inlets, culverts, and ditches. The rational method…
NOAA Atlas 14 provides the latest official U.S. precipitation frequency, depth and duration data. Visit this post to learn more about how to retrieve and utilize NOAA Atlas 14 data.…
This post is to explain how to set up an HMR 52 storm in HEC-HMS by using HEC-MetVue PMS parameters and how to optimize it by setting a objective goal…
Probable maximum precipitation (PMP) is theoretically the greatest precipitation for a given duration that is physically possible over a given size storm area at a particular geographic location. Probable maximum…
In Python, everything is an object, such as int, float, string, list, tuple, dictionary,... When you assign a value to a variable, you basically create an object with a reference…
XPSWMM is a popular 1D and 2D hydrologic and hydraulic modeling tool developed by Innovyze. Though originally XPSWMM was designed primarily to model storm sewer network system, it has gained…
