4. Minimum Data Requirements Data required for a single sub-area run can be entered on the TR-55 Main Window. These data include:
Identification Data - User, State, and County
Dimensionless Unit Hydrograph
Rainfall Location Identifier
Sub-area Data (Name, flows to reach/outlet, area, runoff curve number, & time of concentration)
5. TR-55 Sub-area/Reach Concepts TR-55 represents the watershed as a system of sub-areas and reaches. “Sub-areas” are the watersheds that generate hydrographs that feed into the upstream end of a reach.
