Paper Summary

The study estimated runoff depth in Bhadokhar watershed, Uttar Pradesh using the SCS-CN method. They analyzed 55 storm events from 1993 to 2012 and calculated the watershed's soil group as 'B'. The weighted curve number for the watershed was 83.62 for AMC-1. The runoff volume for the maximum rainfall event on 11th September, 1993 was 853117.96 m3. This information can help in designing soil and water conservation structures in the watershed.
