Research Outcomes of the research supported by the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) through the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS/1/2021/WAB07/UTAR/02/1)


SYNOPSIS

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Soil Conservation Services (SCS) rainfall-runoff model is accepted worldwide, rooted into many design manuals and also appears in every hydrology textbook whereby university lecturers and professors are teaching students year after year worldwide.

This research traced back its origin and rederived the model. SCS model practitioners can now avoid committing type II errors with the revised runoff predictive models to achieve higher accuracy in runoff predictions.
