1 RunoffRunoff Creating a spatially explicit runoff grid

2 Goal Create a grid based surface in which each cell represents runoff transport Used for estimating streamflow Loadings and concentrations of water quality Driving factor in equations

18 Regression relationship For 5 gauging stations located within the Cheat and Tygart Drainage Basins (vicinity of study area) I found 30yr average annual precip and 30yr annual depth of stream flow - both values were in mm. Best fit was: Depth of streamflow in mm = (.655474) * annual precip total in mm

19 Runoff grid

20 Now for cumulative annual runoff Part APart B

21 Cumulative runoff

22 Streamflow from cumulative runoff We multiply cu_runoff2 (which is in m 3 per year) by the number of cubic feet per cubic meter (35.2875) and divide by the number of seconds per year (31557600). For result called est_flow will have the 30yr annual average flow in cfs.

23 Estimated flow

24 Flow for stream cells only
