Abstract

Reports I_U 0111 estimation models NOW Report TT 33/87 Usermanualfor SCS-based design runoff estimation in southern Africa A shorter and simpler report is presented as a design aid for use for lessexpensive structures. The report contains a minimum of theory (given in Parts 1 and 2) to provide the necessary background information to perform manual calculations. It focuses, by way of worked examples (Part 3), on the use of nomographs, tables and maps to providequick (but thoroughly researched) estimates of runoff volume and peak discharge. Report TT 32/87 Flood volume and peak discharge from small catchments in southern Africa, based on the SCS technique: Appendices This document contains appendices relevant to reports TT31/87 and TT33/87. It consists of tables of hydrological information for each of the climatic zones in southern Africa as well as a computer program.
