  3. Runoff (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_(hydrology)

    The runoff curve number (also called a curve number or simply CN) is an empirical parameter used in hydrology for predicting direct runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess. [13] The curve number method was developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service , which was formerly called the Soil Conservation Service or SCS — the ...

    SWMM 5 accounts for various hydrologic processes that produce surface and subsurface runoff from urban areas. These include: Time-varying rainfall for an unlimited number of rain gages for both design and continuous hyetographs; evaporation of standing surface water on watersheds and surface ponds; snowfall accumulation, plowing, and melting
