Produce Hydrographs

Description

Calculates the peak flow (Q_max_tr, in m3/s) for each hillslope using the IFD curve parameters "k" and "b", saturated hydraulic conductivity "ksat", and critical duration "dcrit" (from Optimize Critical Duration tool) for user-defined values of storm duration "tr" (s) and storm intensity "i" (m/s). This tool modifies the input hillslopes feature with new fields: "tr", "i",and "Q_max_tr". This script also produces hydrographs for each hillslope in a Figures folder in the parent directory of the input hillslopes feature.

Usage

Calculates the peak flow (Q_max_tr, in m3/s) for each hillslope using the IFD curve parameters "k" and "b", saturated hydraulic conductivity "ksat", and critical duration "dcrit" (from Optimize Critical Duration tool) for user-defined values of storm duration "tr" (s) and storm intensity "i" (m/s).
