10 day snow-melt peak seems low...
10 day snow-melt peak seems low...
(OP)
I am modeling an industrial lot that will have three infiltration basins to manage stormwater. Per the watershed district, I have to analyze rates for the 100-year 5.9" rainfall and the 10-day snow melt (7.2") event. It seems to me that the peak runoffs should be a little closer than the rates I am seeing. Just wondering if I am missing something. The 100-year rate to the east is 20.90 cfs and the 10-day snow melt rate to the east is 1.97 cfs. Seems odd... Both HydroCAD models are attached.

To view and compare the distributions in HydroCAD, click "View Storm" on the Rainfall tab of the calculation settings screen.
