The general soil conservation service curve number (SCS-CN)-based Mishra and Singh (Mishra and Singh, 1999, J. Hydrologic. Eng. ASCE, 4(3), 257–264) model and its eight variants were investigated for their field applicability using a large set of rainfall-runoff events, derived from a number...

The present study investigates experimentally the effect of watershed (i.e. field plot of 22 m × 5 m) slope on rainfall-generated runoff and, in turn, the runoff curve numbers (CN) resulting from field plots (with land use of maize and sugarcane on the soil falling in Hydrologic Soil...

The available antecedent moisture condition (AMC)-dependent runoff curve number (CN) (SCS, National Engineering Handbook, Supplement A, Section 4, Chapter 10, Soil Conservation Service, USDA, Washington, DC, 1956) conversion formulae due to Sobhani (M.S. Thesis, Utah State University, Logan, UT,...

Employing a large dataset of 84 small watersheds (area=0.17 to 71.99 ha) of U.S.A., this paper investigates a number of initial abstraction (I <Subscript> a </Subscript>)-potential maximum retention (S) relations incorporating antecedent moisture (M) as a function of antecedent precipitation (P <Subscript>5</Subscript>), and finally...</subscript></subscript>

A new lumped conceptual model based on the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) concept has been proposed in this paper for long-term hydrologic simulation and it has been tested using the data of five catchments from different climatic and geographic settings of India. When compared...

Development of accurate surface runoff estimation techniques from ungauged watersheds is relevant in Indian condition due to the non-availability of hydrologic gauging stations in majority of watersheds. Besides this, the high budgetary requirements for installation of gauging stations are...

This paper presents a quantitative evaluation of the existing Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) model, its variants, and the modified Mishra and Singh (MS) models for their suitability to particular land use, soil type and combination thereof using a large set of rainfall-runoff...

The “Eight Communities of the Chianti” area, Tuscany, Italy, receives an average annual rainfall of 700–800mm, mainly between September and December. Nevertheless, the storage capacity of the soil is not sufficient to fulfill agricultural requirements, resulting in a shortage of water from...

Banks should evaluate whether a borrower is likely to default. The author applies several techniques in the extensive mathematical literature of stochastic optimal control/dynamic programming to derive an optimal debt in an environment where there are risks on both the asset and liabilities...

Creditors, banks and bank regulators should evaluate whether a borrower is likely to default. I apply several techniques in the extensive mathematical literature of stochastic optimal control/dynamic programming to derive an optimal debt in an environment where there are risks on both the asset...
