QUESTION 1
In the NRCS Method for determining excess precipitation for a particular location and storm event curve numbers (CN) are assigned based on land use type. The higher values for CN produce more excess precipitation.
True
False
QUESTION 2
A 215-acre site has the following land cover types/hydrologic conditions. What curve number (CN) should be used for the entire site to determine excess precipitation using the NRCS method?
Land Cover Type 1 has an area equal to 61 acres and has a CN of 30.
Land Cover Type 2 has an area equal to 55 acres and has a CN of 48.
Land Cover Type 3 has an area equal to 17 acres and has a CN of 91.
Land Cover Type 4 has the remaining area not covered by Types 1,2, and 3 and has a CN of 67.
QUESTION 3
For some location in the US, an NRCS Type I rain storm has a 24-hr precipitation value equal to 2.3 inches. Find the NRCS, total direct runoff for a soil with a curve number (CN) equal to 81 at t=10hrs during this storm.
