Simulating direct runoff is vital, especially with regard to flash floods. The frequency of flash flood events increases as they are concomitant phenomena of the climate change. Considering the difficult prediction and rapid onset, as well as often lack of input data, the Soil Conservation Service curve number procedure (SCS-CN) poses a useful approach applied globally. Nevertheless, the method was developed for small agricultural watersheds in the USA, thus demanding corresponding modifications in order to provid...
