Determine the depth of runoff by the TR-55 method for a 24-hour, 100-year precipitation of 9 inches for an antecedent moisture condition III, if the following land uses and soil conditions exist.





What will be an ideal response?


Since different land uses are present, a weighted CN value must be calculated.

The CNII values can be found in Table 16.3, and the corresponding CNIII values in

Table 16.5, as shown below.



Weighted CNIII = (0.33)(93.4) + (0.27)(97.4) + (0.12)(95.8) + (0.23)(92.8) + (0.05)(97.2)

Weighted CNIII = 94.82

Determine the potential maximum retention after runoff begins, using Equation

16.7.

S = (1000 / CN) – 10

S = (1000 / 94.82) – 10

S = 0.546 in

Determine depth of runoff using Equation 16.5.



Therefore, the depth of runoff will be 8.38 inches.
