This section outlines the computational techniques utilized by Hydrology Studio. It is strongly advised that you familiarize yourself with the computational methods and equations applied, as this will enhance your comprehension of the output and results. The purpose of this section is not to explain the theoretical foundations or derivations of these methods, but to present the specific equations and techniques used by Hydrology Studio.
Hydrology & Hydraulics
The program uses only widely accepted methods within the industry. Namely HEC-22, Soil Conservation Service, SCS/NRCS and the Rational method. This section will provide a summary of the concepts used but it is not intended to be all-encompassing. Below is a list of publications which provide details on the methods used.
