Dimensionless S‐Graphs for Urban Watersheds
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 113, Issue 7
Abstract
The unit hydrograph is a widely used method for hydrologic design. However, there is a general lack of understanding about the accuracy of the unit hydrographs used in urban areas. Analysis of storm data from seven urban watersheds in Los Angeles provide the basis for evaluating the variation of dimensionless S-hydrographs with both storm event and location. The results of the analysis provide a generalized dimensionless S-graph that should be applicable on urban watersheds.
