AN EVALUATION OF THE HYDROLOGIC SOIL GROUPS AS USED IN THE SCS RUNOFF METHOD ON RANGELANDS1

M. Karl Wood, Wilbert H. Blackburn

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The U.S. Soil Conservation Service has developed a method for estimating runoff for small watersheds when stream flow data are not available. The technique is based on a simplified infiltration model of runoff using various kinds of soil, land use, and empirical approximation.
