Abstract Details

1977, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Food, Agricultural, and Biological Engineering.
Rational runoff coefficients have been derived for seven combinations of land use and treatment on single-crop agricultural watersheds near Coshocton, Ohio. Runoff coefficient is the ratio of peak runoff rate to rainfall rate. The rational runoff formula has been employed to predict peak runoff rates from twelve experimental mixed-cover watersheds in Ohio, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Virginia. These peak rates were estimated using the derived runoff coefficients and five different methods of estimating time of concentration. The computed peak runoff rates have been evaluated against runoff records of the watersheds. The SCS-Curve-No. method of estimating time of concentration gave relatively better results.
