L-THIA IMPERVIOUS INPUT

L-THIA Impervious Input

Formula for calculating the Curve Number (CN) value from percent impervious cover:

 

From simple area weighting,

If n% is the percent impervious area

CNn% is the CN value we are looking for

CN0% is the CN value for the pervious area

98 (obtained from TR-55) is the CN value for the impervious area

Then CNn% = CN0% + (n%/100) * (98- CN0%)
