Method of Predicting the Runoff from Rainfall

Ray K. Linsley, William C. Ackermann

Abstract

The problem of estimating runoff accurately and quickly from reported rainfall is the most difficult phase of river forecasting. The writers have analyzed hydrological and meteorological records of the Valley River Basin in North Carolina to develop a rational method of predicting runoff based on average rainfall and evaporation from a standard land pan.
