SCS Storms
SCS Storms
(OP)
Is it suitable for a peak flow estimation to use a 6-hr storm duration with a SCS type II repartition?
Procedure:
- Calculating total rainfall depth related to a local IDF curve for a duration of 6 hour (for a specific probability e.g. 1/25 years).
- Then using SMADA 6.0, clicking on SCS type II for the rainfall distribution
Should the 24-hour duration be used...
I know there's alot of post related to this subject - just want to have a quick answer :)
