COMPARISON OF METHODS FOR DEVELOPING URBAN RUNOFF HYDROGRAPHS

Developers of urban areas are increasingly being required to develop their property in such a fashion as to not aggravate downstream flooding. The design of storm water control facilities to meet this objective requires an estimate of runoff hydrographs. This paper compares two methods of estimating storm water runoff hydrographs for urban areas.
