  3. Watershed Abstractionsand Routing Method • Abstractions: precipitation/excess precipitation transformation • SCS curve number method • Initial loss + constant rate loss • Routing: excess precipitation/runoff flow transformation • Soil Conservation Service (SCS) synthetic unit hydrograph

  4. Watershed Abstractions Precipitation (mm) Excess precipitation (mm) Soil properties Excess precipitation = f(Precipitation, Soil properties)

  5. Watershed Routing Excess precipitation (mm/hr) Watershed Runoff flow (m3/s)

  6. Watershed Routing Excess precipitation (mm/hr) Excess precipitation and Runoff flow Runoff flow (m3/s) Time Runoff flow = f(Excess precipitation, Watershed hydrologic properties)
