  2. Runoff curve number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_curve_number

    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. [1] The curve number method was developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service , which was formerly called the Soil Conservation Service or SCS — the ...

  3. Storm Water Management Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Water_Management_Model

    This approach is adopted from the NRCS (SCS) curve number method for estimating runoff. It assumes that the total infiltration capacity of a soil can be found from the soil's tabulated curve number. During a rain event this capacity is depleted as a function of cumulative rainfall and remaining capacity.
