CN-Idris: An Idrisi tool for generating curve number maps and estimating direct runoff
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents a raster-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tool called CN-Idris that outputs runoff estimates from land use/land cover and hydrologic soil group maps based on the Natural Resources Conservation Service Curve Number method. The tool enables the user to select among three antecedent moisture conditions and two values of the initial abstraction (Ia) parameter, and it has the option to include spatial variation in rainfall input. 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Estimating Height runoff by using curve number method and Arc- CN Runoff tool in Afjeh Catchment
In Iran, there is a general risk of runoff and flood, and since this country has a dry to semi-arid climate, its predominant rainfall is not evenly distributed in terms of time and place. Routine runoff at the earth's surface can lead to risks such as groundwater abatement, social issues such as population migration, erosion and loss of soil fertility, sedimentation in reservoirs and water q...

The process of precipitation – runoff of each basin, is influenced by hydrologic, geomorphology conditions, geological formation and vegetation. There are different methods in drainage basins. One way to estimate the runoff height is Curve Number (CN) method. That reperesents the hydrological behavior of basin. data were collected for statistics of climate and then topographic map of 1: 25000 a...
متن کاملApplication of NRCS-curve number method for runoff estimation in a mountainous watershed
The major problem in the assessment of relationships between rainfall and runoff occurs when a study is carried out in ungauged watersheds in the absence of hydro-climatic data. This study aims to evaluate the applicability of Natural Resources Conservation Service-Curve Number (NRCS-CN) method together with GIS in estimating runoff depth in a mountainous watershed. The study was carried out in...
متن کاملAssessment and Calibration of the Curve Number Method (SCS-CN) for Estimating Runoff in the Aras Sub-basins, North West of Iran
The SCS-curve number is one of the common methods to estimate drirect runoff in the watershed scale. There is often an uncertainty in predicting runoff in many areas due to to the model’s assumption on the initial abstraction ratio (l= 0.20). This study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of SCS-CN method in estimating runoff in some semi-arid subbasins of the Aras river consits of the Livar...
