Abstract: The WEPP model is a daily runoff and erosion prediction model. We propose the use of this model to predict peak runoff rates from forested watersheds. We compared Curve Number methods to WEPP prediction methods. Both methods predicted similar 2-hr precipitation amounts, which were similar to observed values. Both methods underpredicted 24-hr runoff amounts, but WEPP more closely predicted peak runoff rates.
