Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: National Water Conference

Abstract:

It is recommended that a hydrologic methodology be utilized that contains sufficient parameters to enable the user to evaluate the impact of the changes to the watershed resulting from development. Such a methodology has been established for Fort Bend County, Texas utilizing C.O. Clark's unit hydrograph coefficients in conjunction with the HEC-1 computer program for evaluating effects of urban development on stormwater management. This methodology has also been successfully applied elsewhere with minor modifications, and has the potential to be used as a basis for the establishment of similar procedures for other regions throughout the country.
