You can use the Runoff Properties tab to change the Runoff Method and various drainage related properties of the catchment.
SCS runoff method only.
Specifies the shape type for SCS calculation. Select either Curvilinear or Triangular.
Specifies the shape factor or peak rate factor as defined in NEH-4 Chapter 16. The typical value is 484 for a hydrograph where the volume under the falling side of the triangular unit hydrograph is equal to 1.67 times the volume under the rising limb of the curvilinear unit hydrograph.
The initial abstraction from the precipitation may be represented as the lesser total depth of precipitation, or as a fraction of the amount of precipitation. Specify either Depth or Fraction.
When the Initial Abstraction Type is specified as Depth, this field represents the lesser depth of precipitation.
When the Initial Abstraction Type is specified as Fraction, this field represents the fraction of the amount of precipitation (between 0 to 1).
The weighted CN used by the calculation. It is calculated as follows:
CN = (PIMP / 100 * 98) + ((1 - (PIMP / 100)) * PACN)where:
Specifies the runoff coefficient for the catchment. Acceptable values are between 0.01 and 1.00. A runoff coefficient is used when calculating runoff with the Rational methods. This value is not used; however, it is exported as part of catchment data so it can be used in Storm and Sanitary Analysis.
By default, flow paths are created with the number of segments as specified in the catchment feature settings. You can use the Edit Flow Segments command to add additional segments of any of the three types to a flow path after creation.
Displays the distance between the specified discharge point and hydraulically most distant point.
This length may not be the longest measurable distance between any two points within a catchment; it can be shorter.
Water moves through a watershed as sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, swales, open channels, street gutters, storm sewers, or some combination of these. The hydraulically most distant length represents these flows along a path where "distant" relates to time rather than length.
TR-55 method only.
Displays the number of sheet flow segments defined within the flow path.
TR-55 method only.
Displays the number of shallow concentrated flow segments defined within the flow path.
TR-55 method only.
Displays the number of channel flow segments defined within the flow path.
