First, a modification was made in the equation for peak rates of runoff to bring the equation in line with sound theoretical analysis. Second, it was shown that the rainfall occurring in a storm with 3D-minute duration is more applicable to the region under consideration than the 6-hour storms used in the unmodified Soil Conservation Method. Third, an expression was found for the optimum storm duration suitable to calculations of peak rates of runoff on any small catchment.reportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
