Abstract: Historical storms with a 24-h rainfall depth exceeding 50.8 mm (2 in.) recorded in southern Arizona were compared with design storms developed both locally and by the USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS). This study aims ...

Abstract: Four curve number (CN) determination methods are evaluated from 16 watersheds in the southwestern U.S. using 1,284 events that satisfy rainfall and runoff criteria. The use of ordered pairs versus natural pairs of rainfall ...

Abstract: The time of concentration equation used in Pima County, Arizona, includes a hydrologic parameter representing the impedance to flow for peak discharge estimation on small [typically less than

Abstract: Although the curve number (CN) method has been widely used in rainfall and runoff models, the physical interpretation of the CN method is still challenging, for instance how to estimate the potential maximum retention. ...
