SCS Dimensionless Unit Hydrograph See tabulated values in Mays Table 8.8.1 From Mays, 2011, Ground and Surface Water Hydrology
Example A watershed has 40% residential (1/4 ac lots), 25% open space (good condition), 20% commercial and business (85% impervious) and 15% industrial (72% impervious) with corresponding soil groups of C, D, C and D. What is the depth of runoff from 6 in of rain Assume the rainfall occurs in a pattern of 2 in in first hour, 3 in in second hour and 1 in in third hour determine the rainfall excess hyetograph Average slope is 3%, Area is 3 mi2, hydraulic length is 1.2 mi. Determine the SCS unit hydrograph. What is the direct runoff hydrograph from the rain used earlier
