Figure 2.1
Graphical technique for the estimation of incremental storm runoff given an index of antecedent
precipitation, the week of the year, a soil water retention index and precipitation in the previous six hours;
arrows represent the sequence of use of the graphs (after Linsley, Kohler and Paulhus, 1949).
(1944) in one of the first topics to be published on rainfall-runoff modelling and flood estimation. These
ideas still underlie some of the distributed models being used today and Kull and Feldman (1998), for
example, have demonstrated how the time-area method can be used with distributed rainfall inputs derived
from the NEXRAD radar system.
