The article explores how rainfall affects runoff in urban areas. Data from Baltimore, Newark, and Hertfordshire was used to develop equations for predicting peak runoff rates and the time it takes for the water to rise. The researchers also came up with a method to forecast the shape of a basic runoff graph.
