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...

The lack of stream gauging data worldwide has inspired an abundance of methods attempting to predict the complex natural process of streamflow. A set of traditional regression equations have been developed by the U.S. Geological Survey for the state of Iowa. However, several inconsistencies were noted, including irregular region definition and vary...
