Principle Spillway Hydrograph with Q1/Q10 = 0.2
Principle Spillway Hydrograph with Q1/Q10 = 0.2
(OP)
I'm interested in modeling a 10-day runoff event with a Q1/Q10 =0.2. HydroCAD provides an hydrograph for Q1/Q10 = 0.4. Does anyone know where I can find the information to develop a similar hydrograph for Q1/Q10 = 0.2?

As background for others, we're talking about the SCS 1-day/10-day Principal Spillway Hydrograph (PSH). This rainfall has a 1-day (24-hour) Type II storm at it's center, which contains 40% of the total 10-day rainfall depth. snowhund is looking for a similar storm with 20% in the 1-day period.

I'm interested in this hydrograph because I'm curious and it applies to portions of Montana. I'm found some old documents that have the hydrograph, but it's based on set time of concentrations. I'm looking for the original unit hydrograph data or methodology on how to obtain it.

Also be careful to distinguish between the rainfall distribution, the runoff hydrograh, and the unit hydrograph. They are related, but each contains very different information.
