Simulation of Runoff from an Air Force Base using a Programmable Calculator.

Abstract

In this thesis the AFIT Runoff Model was developed and tested against other stormwater models and actual runoff data. The AFIT Runoff Model simulates the stormwater runoff from an Air Force Base. It was based on the Air Force Runoff Model (AFRUM), but it is used on a Texas Instruments TI-59 programmable calculator. The inputs to the model are land use characteristics of the watershed and an estimated Curve Number from the SCS Curve Number Model. The land use characteristics are percent impervious, percent forested, percent agricultural, percent denuded and surface area of the watershed. (Author)
