Factors affecting runoff may be divided into those associated with the precipitation, and the watershed characteristics. Factor # 1. Precipitation: Since by far the largest portion of precipitation occurs as rain, and the rainfall directly affects soil erosion, the characteristics of rainstorm and intensity, duration and frequency of rainfall are of interest in describing the […]

After reading this article you will learn about estimating the volume of runoff. Knowledge of the volume of runoff from a watershed is necessary to design the water storage system and surplussing arrangements. Different mathematical models that are developed to predict runoff deal mainly with precipitation characteristics affecting runoff amount and peak rates. In an […]
