Abstract
Surface runoff prediction is a very intricate, evolving, and exponential phenomenon controlled by numerous interconnected components. Regulated by numerous types of related factors, surface runoff production is a highly complex, dynamic, and non-linear phenomena. Advancement and long-term control of water resources depend on run-off forecast. For runoff forecasts, many techniques and models are at hand; Among strategies, “Soil Conservation Services curve number(SCS- CN)” approach stands out. In order to determine potential outflow from a drainage system or region, the SCS implemented the Curve Number index. It is possible to figure out the curve number of a drainage basin by taking into account the antecedent moisture conditions(AMC), the soil, land surface use and land cover (LULC). Considered also is the Hydrological Soil Group (HSG). Four kinds of soils are offered at HSG: “A, B, C, and D”. Whereas soil type D stands for low penetration rates and greater surface flow capacity, soil category A comprises higher penetration rates below the surface and less runoff potentiality. The study's research site was the Sanjai river basin in Jharkhand. Arc Gis 10.1 and Erdas 14 software helped produce thematic layers like soil maps, LULC maps, and so on. The whole catchment was divided into sub-watersheds in order to more accurately measure runoff. The findings demonstrate that the SCS-CN simulation performs productive runoff estimates. The research demonstrates that more sustainable water use results from suitable surface runoff analysis.
