Modelling runoff using modified SCS-CN method in Shivalik micro-watersheds [1]

In engineering practice, simple methods are important for predicting runoff from watersheds particularly for flood forecasting and water balance calculations. In the present study, it is illustrated that the often-used SCS runoff curve-number approach in its most elementary form can be derived from assuming that only saturated areas contribute to direct runoff.
