The estimative of the maximum surface runoff volume is fundamental to design several types of hydraulic structures as, for example, level terracing systems. The incorrect estimative of the surface runoff volume causes a wrong design of these systems and when overestimated present high installation cost. Considering these aspects, the present study aimed to compare the values of the surface flow maximum volume obtained by the empiric method of the curve number and developed by the USA Soil Conservation Service, with […]
