TR-20 Basic (000041)

Overview

This course covers the basic concepts of NRCS hydrologic techniques and how the TR-20 computer program performs computations. It covers how to use the basic routines of the computer program such as runoff, reservoir, reach, add hydrographs, and how to develop the input data in the proper format. It also discusses how to interpret the output.

Objectives

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• identify and use the hydrologic processes used by the TR-20 computer program, such as runoff, reservoir routing, stream routing, and add hydrographs
• select the proper processes to use when modeling a watershed
• determine the input variables used to model a watershed with the TR-20 computer program
• analyze the output to determine if the TR-20 computer program has correctly modeled the watershed

Prerequisites

None

Duration

3 days

Target Audience

Hydrologists or hydraulic engineers, water supply forecast unit hydrologists, and engineering technicians who will be performing TR-20 watershed model studies may attend
