5-1 CHAPTER five Surface Runoff INTRODUCTION Rainfall excess is that portion of total rainfall that is not stored on the land Surface or infiltrated into underlying soil. It eventually comprises direct Runoff to downstream rivers, streams, storm sewers, and other conveyance systems. One of the key parameters in the design and analysis of urban hydrologic systems is the resulting peak Runoff or, in some cases, the variation of Runoff over time ( , hydrograph) at a watershed outlet or other downstream design point. Its evaluation requires an adequate understanding of the processes and routes by which the transformation of excess rainfall to direct Runoff occurs.
