Orange County Rational Method – Edit Parameters dialog

When setting up a Orange County Rational Method simulation, data must be entered for each sub-area.

  • Area – The sub-area area (acres or ha.) can be automatically computed when using a DEM or TIN
  • % Nonmountainous and % Mountainous – The percentage of the sub-area that lies below and above 2000 ft, respectively.

Use the Compute % Mountainous button to calculate these values using a DEM or TIN.

Initial Sub-area

  • Tc – The time of concentration (min)
  • Intensity – The rainfall intensity (in/hr) is automatically computed based on the Tc

Losses

  • ap – Pervious area percentage
  • Fp – Pervious area loss rate
  • Fm – Maximum area loss rate

Calculate Fm by toggling on the Compute checkbox, entering values for ap and Fp, and using the Compute Fm button or click on the Compute Fm – GIS button to use GIS data.
