Calculate the Design Flood Hydrograph for a Watershed and an SCS Design Storm:
|
|
*Referencing Part 630, Hydrology, Chapter 16, Hydrographs, National Engineering Handbook, USDA, NRCS this calculation is to be used to calculate the flood hydrograph for a watershed using an SCS design storm. For local SCS storms greater than 96 hours (4 days). |
