A simplified empirical equation is developed for widespread prediction of dynamic catchment response time. This model allows for time‐to‐peak prediction to evolve from static, lumped models, thereby providing a single value for any storm within a given catchment, using a single set of input parameters, that can be applied to a dynamic model, thus a...

In flood forecasting and design for peak flows, understanding and characterizing the hydrologic response to rainfall events is vitally important. One of the key parameters utilized to characterize the catchment response time is the Time-to-Peak (Tp), which represents the net rise time of a storm hydrograph, or the time from when a precipitation eve...
