BMP Manual - Chapter 8

SUMMARY: There have been many methodologies developed to estimate the total runoff volume, the peak rate of runoff, and the runoff hydrograph from land surfaces under a variety of conditions. This chapter describes some of the methods that are most widely used in Pennsylvania and throughout the country. It is certainly not a complete list of procedures nor is it intended to discourage the use of new and better methods as they become available.
