Here is a graphical view of the nonlinear runoff processes in InfoSWMM and SWMM5:
============================================================
1. Three runoff surfaces
a. Impervious with Depression Storage
b. Pervious
c. Impervious without Depression Storage
2. Evaporation
a. Constant
b. Time Series
c. Monthly
d. Temperature
e. Climate File
f. Monthly Adjustments for Climate Change
3. Slope (same for all runoff surfaces)
4. Infiltration
a. Horton
b. Modified Horton
c. Green Ampt
d. Modified Green Ampt
e. Curve Number or SCS or CN
f. Monthly Adjustments for Climate Change for all Infiltration Methods
5. Roughness (Manning’s n)
