Variable General Info
Raining days ?Comment:OpenNSPECT calculates both event and annual runoff scenarios. For annual runoff scenarios, users must also estimate the number of days that yielded surface runoff within a year. This number indicates the average number of storms that occur in a one-year period in the area of interest. This parameter is very sensitive and typically requires careful consideration. While it isn’t recommended that users simply adjust this value to calibrate OpenNSPECT to local conditions, users are encouraged to employ creative methods to accurately reflect spatial variation in raining days. |
