SCALE MODEL OF URBAN RUNOFF FROM STORM RAINFALL

THE RESPONSE OF A SMALL URBAN WATERSHED TO FOUR STORMS IS GENERATED IN THE LABORATORY BY A SCALE MODEL CONSISTING OF A PROGRAMMED RAINFALL GENERATOR, VERTICALLY-DISTORTED SCALED TOPOGRAPHY, AND A WEIGHING DEVICE FOR RECORDING THE CUMULATIVE RUNOFF. COMPARISON OF THESE RESULTS WITH PROTOTYPE MEASUREMENTS THROUGH USE OF DERIVED SCALING LAWS SHOWS REASONABLE AGREEMENT. /ASCE/
