Antecedent Moisture Condition (Scs) Frequency Assessment: A Case Study in Southern Italy

Abstract: This paper reports on a procedure used to define the joint probability distribution of two hydrological variables describing a meteoric event: the maximum intensity of the rain and the accumulation in the antecedent five days. The main goal is to define the frequency of occurrence of the three antecedent moisture condition classes of the SCS-CN method connected to extreme intensity rain events, with reference to a very precise data set containing records with aggregation time of 10 min. In order to define the … Show more

“…As a result, in above described cases a much more underestimation of calculated values of direct event outflow can be expected for the mountainous Kamienica catchment and an overestimation for the lowland WS80 watershed. Similar observations have been reported in other recent studies by several authors [Wałęga et al 2011, de Paola et al 2013, Banasik et al 2014, Kowalik and Wałęga 2015. In this context, therefore, there is a need of finding alternative methods of direct outflow estimation, that provides results that are closest to the observed ones with a minimal error.…”

“…Moreover, in the original method, CN was determined based on maximum daily precipitation per year, and in our study this parameter was calculated using the rainfall causing direct runoff from the investigated watersheds. De Paola et al [30] suggest using the AMCIII class for flow predictions when designing "sensible' structural hydraulic measures (such as detention reservoirs or floodplain storage), while for non-structural measures (such as delineation of hazard maps) this assumption may be too severe and, therefore, it requires a precise evaluation of its occurrence frequency. To adapt the SCS method for use in mountain or highland watersheds, it has been proposed [4] to correct CNemp by a factor representing the watershed slope.…”

“…Currently, this method is included in widely used hydrological software, such as WinTR55, WinTR20, HEC-HMS, EPA-SWMM, SWAT, GLEAMS, EPIC, NLEAP, and AGNPS [30], and it is consequently applied in a large number of scientific studies. Isik et al [31] used a hybrid model based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), and SCS-CN to predict the effect of changes in land use/cover on daily streamflow.…”

“…Due to nonlinearity of the rainfall-abstraction-runoff modelling involved in the adopted hydrological model, the iso-frequency hypothesis cannot be, in general, considered valid, particularly because of the uncertainty related to antecedent moisture condition (de Paola et al 2013) and initial abstraction.…”
