Of the numerous methods applied in rainfall-runoff models, the most common is the NRCS-CN method that is applied to calculate raised-water runoffs and compare them with the runoff values measured for 12 selected rainfall-runoff events. This study was conducted on three experimental forest catchments with an area ranging from 67.6 to 747 ha. Total rainfall values ranging from 22.2 to 84.1 mm were analysed. Relatively low effective rainfall values were obtained for the lowest average for catchment 1 (Pe = 0.23 mm) and the runoff coefficient (α = 0.40%) and for the highest average for catchment 3 (Pe = 1.35 mm) and an average runoff coefficient (α = 3.12%). The maximum potential retention Si value, corresponding to each pair of P-Pe events, was the effect of the catchment’s moisture and absorptive capacity conditions. The lowest retention S value was calculated for catchment 3. The highest average retention value was calculated for catchment 1, in which the lightest soils were found. The best fit of the initial loss coefficient for the majority of rainfall-runoff events occurred for the λ coefficient values of 0.05 and 0.075. At higher λ, the effective rainfall Pe was not generated. LAG times calculated using 10 methods yielded diverse values. The fit of a specific formula was largely influenced by the size of the catchment, as well as the number and type of parameters considered during model calibration. The method based on catchment width demonstrated the best fit for all catchments, with R2 ranging from 0.77 to 0.78 and RMSE from 0.52 for catchment 2 to 1.11 for catchment 1. |
