🌧️ Rules for NRCS Unit Hydrographs in InfoSWMM 📈
Subject: 🌧️ Rules for NRCS Unit Hydrographs in InfoSWMM 📈
When applying NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) Unit Hydrographs for hydrological modeling in InfoSWMM adhere to the following rules or guidelines to ensure accurate hydrological simulations:
Curve Number (CN) Source 🗂️: Obtain the Curve Number (CN) from the NRCS_CN column in the Subcatchment Table, representing runoff potential based on soil type, land use, and treatment practices.
Time of Concentration (TC) ⏱️: The Time of Concentration, critical for hydrograph development, is sourced from the TC column within the Subcatchment Table.
Infiltration Model Selection 💧: Select the Infiltration Model according to the CN Infiltration Model Column in the Subcatchment Database Table to ensure consistency in infiltration calculations.
CN Consistency Across Tables 🔄: The CN value in the Soil Database Table must match the CN in the Subcatchment Database Table for uniform hydrological parameters.
Depression Storage and Initial Abstraction 🕳️➡️💧: If Depression Storage is zero in the Subcatchment Database Table, Initial Abstraction (IA) in inches will be internally calculated using the formula IA=0.2×(1000/CN−10).
Initial Abstraction Calculation ✏️: Clearly state that Initial Abstraction in US units is IA=0.2×(1000/CN−10), indicating the use of American measurement standards.
By following these emoji-highlighted guidelines 📝, hydrological modeling using NRCS Unit Hydrographs within InfoSWMM will be precise and reliable, leading to better water management outcomes. 💦🏙️
