Outdated method underestimates runoff height, risking water management accuracy.
The SCS-CN method was tested for estimating runoff height in the Amoghin watershed. By using land use and soil data, the method calculated an average curve number of 78.76 for the watershed. However, when compared to actual runoff heights from nine rainfall events, the SCS-CN method consistently underestimated the runoff. This means the method had low accuracy in predicting runoff height for this specific area. It's important to be cautious when using this method, especially considering uncertainties in initial maintenance coefficient and curve number estimation for different seasons.
