WMS:Overview of Basin Data Equations

From XMS Wiki

Dodson (Dodson & Associates, 1992) compiled several equations from hydrologic publications. WMS has
implemented many of these equations and allows choosing from the ones listed below to automatically compute
lag times/times of concentration. Because most of the equations were developed for specific watersheds (e.g.
size, land cover etc.), consider the assumptions made about a given equation, and try to identify one that used
watershed conditions similar to the one being studied. The following is a list of the equations available in WMS.
The SCS also found that for many cases the lag time could be related to the concentration time by the following
equation:

This relationship is always used by WMS to determine lag time when a method for computing time of
concentration is chosen, or to compute time of concentration when a method for lag time is chosen. Methods
used for lag time begin with TLAG = whereas methods used to compute time of concentration begin with tc =.
