Estimating The Rainfall-Runoff Characteristics Of Selected Small Utah Watersheds, Clive H. Walker
Estimating The Rainfall-Runoff Characteristics Of Selected Small Utah Watersheds, Clive H. Walker
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Runoff and rainfall data have been taken from three high mountain Utah watersheds and subjected to runoff to rainfall comparisons. The resulting Q/P ratios have been compared to the average volumes of runoff curve numbers (CN) computed from this data for each watershed. Runoff curve numbers were also estimated on the basis of the soils and vegetation data available for the watersheds.
An attempt has been made to estimate the watershed lag characteristics by computing synthetic hydrographs for successively larger values of time to peak estimates until the best fit comparison was achieved between the snythetic and the actual hydrographs. …
