Geographic Dependency of the Curve Number Method’s Initial Abstraction Ratio
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The community of hydrologic engineers that uses the curve number method of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS, formerly the Soil Conservation Service, SCS) has had a spirited debate over the last two decades ...
Examination of Multiple Predictive Approaches for Estimating Dam Breach Peak Discharges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A database joining individual earthen dam breach failure studies is assembled and reanalyzed across all aggregate observations. Conventional regression methods are employed along with newer predictive approaches to estimating ...
NRCS Curve Number Method: Comparison of Methods for Estimating the Curve Number from Rainfall-Runoff Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A data set comprising rainfall-runoff data gathered at 31 Agricultural Research Service experimental watersheds was used to explore curve number calibration. This exploration focused on the calibrated value and goodness-of-fit ...
Stormwater Management Adaptation Pathways under Climate Change and Urbanization
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Urban runoff volumes and flow peaks are likely to increase in the future owing to climate change–driven effects on rainfall and continued urbanization. Actionable planning estimates that anticipate these impacts are needed ...
Future Storm Frequency and Runoff in Small US Mid-Atlantic Watersheds Evaluated Using Capture Depth
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to climate change and urbanization, runoff events will become more frequent, resulting in increased potential for flooding and soil erosion. To understand the hydrologic impacts of various climate change and urbanization ...
