A new runoff simulation model was developed for small urban areas. It considers different types of surfaces, rainfall patterns, and water absorption. The model was tested on ten rain events in two urban areas and compared to actual measurements. The results showed that the new model accurately predicted runoff levels, matching those from a more complex model.
