SCS Runoff Curve Numbers

SCS Runoff Curve Numbers (Antecedent moisture condition II)1

1. Source: SCS Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds, 2nd Ed., (TR-55), June 1986.

 2. Good cover is protected from grazing and litter and brush cover soil.

 3. Curve numbers are computed assuming that the runoff from the house and driveway is directed toward the street with a minimum of roof water directed to lawns where additional infiltration could occur.

 4. The remaining pervious areas (lawn) are considered to be in good pasture condition for these curve numbers.

 5. In some warmer climates of the country a curve number of 95 may be used.
