KINEMATIC WAVE NOMOGRAPH FOR TIMES OF CONCENTRATION
RECENT STUDIES INDICATE THAT THE KINEMATIC WAVE MODEL PROVIDES A GOOD APPROXIMATION TO THE RISING SIDE OF THE OVERLAND FLOW HYDROGRAPH IN MOST CASES THAT ARE OF INTEREST IN FLOOD HYDROLOGY. A NOMOGRAPH BASED ON THE KINEMATIC WAVE FORMULATION IS PROPOSED AS A DESIGN AID FOR DETERMINING THE TIME OF CONCENTRATION FOR OVERLAND FLOW. RESULTS OBTAINED WITH THE KINEMATIC WAVE MODEL COMPARE FAVORABLY WITH THOSE OBTAINED EXPERIMENTALLY BY THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND CARL F. IZZARD.
