Synopsis
This book details the quandary of estimating surface runoff from watersheds and smaller land areas, a recurring problem for hydrologists. Traditional deficit models, which subtract rainfall data from a constant runoff coefficient, have proven inadequate for accurate calculations. This book, based on multi-year infiltration and runoff experiments conducted by the author, explores the infiltration process and its impact on runoff patterns. The author posits that infiltration is a critical but varying factor in runoff calculations and needs to be assessed independently for each segment of a watershed using an infiltrometer. These site-specific infiltration rates can then be used to compute runoff more accurately, as demonstrated by the author's detailed case studies of runoff in Illinois and Colorado. This book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between rainfall, infiltration, and runoff for hydrologists and other water resource managers.
