The SCS-CN method has been widely used to estimate the surface runoff from rainfall-runoff events. However in North Western tract of India this is very poorly documented. So, the main objective of the study was to propose and select the best method for the computation of surface runoff including, new empirical method and to compare this by other approaches on the bases of Root mean square error (RMSE), Nash Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), Coefficient of determination (R2), PB (Per cent biasness) and residual error. |
