CN method The runoff curve number CN is an empirical parameter used in hydrology for predicting direct runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess. The curve number method was developed by the USDA- Natural Resources Conservation Service, which was formerly called Soil Conservation Service or SCS. The number CN is still popularly known in the literature as a "SCS runoff curve number". The runoff curve number is based on the drainage basin characteristics (hydrological soil group, land use, land management) and hydrological condition. References, such as from USDA, indicate the runoff curve number for characteristic land cover descriptions and a hydrologic soil group F. De Paola
CN method • where: • - Pnet : accumulated runoff depth (mm) • - P : accumulative rainfall depth (mm) • - Ia : initial abstraction (mm), or the amount of water before runoff, such as infiltration, and rainfall interception by vegetation • - S : potential maximum soil moisture retention after runoff begins (mm). • Assuming Ia = 0.2S Maurizio Giugni CN fundamental relationship: 17/11/2011 F.

CN method The runoff curve number, CN, is then related to potential maximum soil moisture retention, S, by: CN has a range from 30 to 100. Lower numbers (permeable soils with high infiltration rates)indicate low runoff potential. Larger numbers are for increasing runoff potential. Maurizio Giugni 17/11/2011 F. De Paola 6
