The SCS Curve Number (CN) is used to quantify infiltration loss during runoff calculation. As illustrated in Figure 1, a curve number should be determined by soil (Hydrologic Soil Groups, or…
A simple hydrograph development technique, developed by H. Rooney Malcom in 1980, is often used to design detention facilities serving relatively small watersheds (less than 640 acre or 1.0 sq…
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…
This post (3 of 3) is an instruction of combining Land Cover Raster file and HSG Raster file to create a CN raster file for calculating an area-weighted average CN…
Hydrologic Soil Group Data (A, B, C, and D) is an important soil property which impacts the soil infiltration rates and runoff potential. Soils were originally assigned to hydrologic soil…
The SCS (NRCS) Curve Number is used to quantify infiltration loss during runoff calculation. As illustrated in Figure 1, the CN is determined by both soil types (Hydrologic Soil Groups,…
