Title: Application of Curve Number Method for Estimation of Runoff Potential in GIS Environment
Abstract: This study aims to compute the runoff depth using Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) method using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS). The SCS-CN is a quantitative description of land use / land cover / soil complex characteristics of a watershed. This model is a widely used hydrological model for estimating runoff using runoff and curve number (CN). The CN is an index that represents the watershed runoff potential. In the present study SCS-CN method is used for estimating the runoff depth in the Sheonath river upper sub-basin of Chhattisgarh State of India. The present study reveals that the remote sensing and GIS based SCS-CN can be effectively used to estimate the runoff from the river basins of similar geo-hydrological characteristics.
