<strong>Hydrology</strong>: Acknowledgements, Comments & Revisions<br />

mining the design rainfall criteria were expanded. NOAA Atlas 2 was dropped and NOAA Atlas<br />

14 was <strong>of</strong>ficially adopted. The isopluvial figures were moved to Appendix A.<br />

Chapter 3 Rational Method – The I-D-F graph was replaced with a new IDF based on NOAA<br />

Atlas 14 and then moved to Appendix B. A discussion <strong>of</strong> the computation <strong>of</strong> site specific intensities<br />

was added and is intended to replace the I-D-F graph. Procedures for determination <strong>of</strong> peak<br />

discharge at multiple points in a drainage network was added. A triangular hydrograph approach<br />

was added for combining and translating Rational Method peak discharges.<br />

Chapter 4 Rainfall Losses – Procedures for the determination <strong>of</strong> the rainfall loss variables <strong>of</strong><br />

the Green and Ampt equation were expanded.<br />

Chapter 5 Unit Hydrograph – Procedures for the determination <strong>of</strong> the Clark unit hydrograph<br />

parameters and the S-Graph ordinates were expanded. The Clark unit hydrograph time <strong>of</strong> concentration<br />

procedure for estimating average rainfall excess intensity was revised.<br />

Chapter 6 Multiple Frequency Modeling – This is an entirely new chapter.<br />

Chapter 7 Channel Routing – The Channel Routing chapter was changed to Chapter 7. The<br />

contents <strong>of</strong> this chapter were reorganized.<br />

Chapter 8 Indirect Methods – This is an entirely new chapter.<br />

Chapter 9 Application – The Application chapter was changed to Chapter 9. The procedures<br />
