Peak flows of different frequencies calculated from hydrologic modeling often need to be validated to gain some confidence on them. There are several ways to validate a peak flow value.…
Urbanization has some substantial impacts on a watershed hydrology including increased surface runoff flow rate and volume, quicker to peak, decreased infiltration and evapotranspiration. To account for these effects in…
In addition to various unit hydrograph transform methods and SWMM nonlinear reservoir runoff method, InfoWorks ICM also has a built-in rational routing model for rainfall-runoff process. To utilize the Modified…
SCS Curve Number (CN) method, proposed by USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS, now known as NRCS), has been widely used for infiltration loss and runoff calculation due to its simplicity…
Unit hydrograph transform method for precipitation-runoff process is widely used by many H&H modeling tools, but EPA SWMM has its own method known as nonlinear reservoir runoff method which treats…
Time of Concentration (TOC or Tc), one of the most important hydrologic parameters for runoff calculation and modeling, is defined as the time it takes a drop of rainfall to…
InfoWorks ICM is a powerful hydrologic and hydraulic modeling tool. As its name suggests, ICM - Integrated Catchment Modelling, InfoWorks ICM is capable of simulating 1D network and 2D surface…
