Using a large set of rainfall-runoff data from 234 small to large watersheds from USA, this paper evaluates the modified version of the [Mishra, S. K. and Singh, V. P., 2002a, ‘SCS-CN-based hydrologic simulation package’, in V. P. Singh and D. K. Frevert (eds), Mathematical Models in Small...

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...

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>

This work presents the development of a rainfall-runoff model for the Iguaçu River basin in southern Brazil. The model was developed to support the operation planning of hydroelectric power plants and is intended to predict the natural flow based on meteorological rain forecasts. A recurrent...

The non-stationarity in runoff regime may be attributed to various causes such as climate change, land use change, and man-made runoff control structures. Degradation of land use can induce significant impact on infiltration and surface roughness leading to higher flood discharges. This study...

Over the past few decades, many numerical streamflow prediction techniques using observed time series (TS) have been developed and widely used in water resources planning and management. Recent advances in quantitative rainfall forecasting by numerical weather prediction (NWP) models have made...

Estimates of a low flow index in ungauged catchments calculated by a regional regression model and a regional hydrological model were compared for a study region southwestern Norway. The regression method was based on a relationship between the low flow index and an optimal set of catchment...

This study presents a geomorphology based semi-distributed methodology for prediction of runoff of a catchment. In this proposed methodology, the catchment area is divided into a number of sub-catchments using the Thiessen polygon method. The rainfall records of particular rain-gauge station are...

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,...
