Preface

Technical Release 55 (TR-55) presents simplified

procedures to calculate storm runoff volume, peak
rate of discharge, hydrographs, and storage volumes
required for floodwater reservoirs. These procedures
are applicable in small watersheds, especially urbaniz-
ing watersheds, in the United States. First issued by
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS),
formerly the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) in Janu-
ary 1975, TR-55 incorporates current SCS procedures.
This revision includes results of recent research and
other changes based on experience with use of the
original edition.

The major revisions and additions are:

• A flow chart for selecting the appropriate proce-

dure;
• Three additional rain distributions;
• Expansion of the chapter on runoff curve numbers;
• A procedure for calculating travel times of sheet
flow;
• Deletion of a chapter on peak discharges;
• Modifications to the Graphical Peak Discharge
method and Tabular Hydrograph method;
• A new storage routing procedure;
• Features of the TR-55 computer program; and
• Worksheets.

This revision was prepared by Roger Cronshey,

method in chapter 3 was chosen because it is basic;
however, other methods may be used.

Peak discharge and hydrographs

Chapter 4 describes a method for approximating peak
rates of discharge, and chapter 5 describes a method
for obtaining or routing hydrographs. Both methods
were derived from hydrographs prepared by proce-
dures outlined in chapter 16 of NEH-4 (SCS 1985). The
computations were made with a computerized SCS
hydrologic model, TR-20 (SCS 1983).

The methods in chapters 4 and 5 should be used in

accordance with specific guidelines. If basic data are
improperly prepared or adjustments not properly
used, errors will result.

Storage effects
Chapter 6 outlines procedures to account for the effect
of detention-type storage. It provides a shortcut
method to estimate temporary flood storage based on
hydrologic data developed from the Graphical Peak
Discharge or Tabular Hydrograph methods.

Limitations
To save time, the procedures in TR-55 are simplified
by assumptions about some parameters. These simpli-
fications, however, limit the use of the procedures and
can provide results that are less accurate than more
detailed methods. The user should examine the sensi-
tivity of the analysis being conducted to a variation of
the peak discharge or hydrograph. To ensure that the
degree of error is tolerable, specific limitations are
given in chapters 2 through 6. Additional general
constraints to the use of TR-55 are as follows:

• The methods in this TR are based on open and

unconfined flow over land or in channels. For large
events during which flow is divided between sewer
and overland flow, more information about hydrau-
lics than is presented here is needed to determine
Tc. After flow enters a closed system, the discharge
can be assumed constant until another flow is
encountered at a junction or another inlet.

• Both the Graphical Peak Discharge and Tabular

Hydrograph methods are derived from TR-20 (SCS
1983) output. Their accuracy is comparable; they
differ only in their products. The use of Tc permits
them to be used for any size watershed within the
scope of the curves or tables. The Graphical
method (chapter 4) is used only for hydrologically
homogeneous watersheds because the procedure
is limited to a single watershed subarea. The Tabu-
lar method (chapter 5) can be used for a heteroge-
neous watershed that is divided into a number of
homogeneous subwatersheds. Hydrographs for the
subwatersheds can be routed and added.

• The approximate storage-routing curves (chapter

6) should not be used if the adjustment for ponding
(chapter 4) is used. These storage-routing curves,
like the peak discharge and hydrograph proce-
dures, are generalizations derived from TR-20
routings.

directly connected to the drainage system, impervious areas have a CN of 98, and pervious areas are considered equivalent to open space in
good hydrologic condition. CN’s for other combinations of conditions may be computed using figure 2-3 or 2-4.
3 CN’s shown are equivalent to those of pasture. Composite CN’s may be computed for other combinations of open space
cover type.
4 Composite CN’s for natural desert landscaping should be computed using figures 2-3 or 2-4 based on the impervious area percentage (CN =
98) and the pervious area CN. The pervious area CN’s are assumed equivalent to desert shrub in poor hydrologic condition.
5 Composite CN’s to use for the design of temporary measures during grading and construction should be computed using figure 2-3 or 2-4
based on the degree of development (impervious area percentage) and the CN’s for the newly graded pervious areas.

Urban CN’s (table 2-2a) were developed for typical

land use relationships based on specific assumed
percentages of impervious area. These CN vales were
developed on the assumptions that (a) pervious urban
areas are equivalent to pasture in good hydrologic
condition and (b) impervious areas have a CN of 98

Example 2-3

This example is the same as example 2-2, except that

the 1/2-acre lots have a total impervious area of 35
percent. For these lots, the pervious area is lawns in
good hydrologic condition. Since the impervious area
percentage differs from the percentage assumed in
table 2-2, use figure 2-3 to compute CN.
(See figure 2-7.)

Example 2-4

This example is also based on example 2-2, except that

50 percent of the impervious area associated with the
1/2-acre lots on the Loring soil is “unconnected,” that
is, it is not directly connected to the drainage system.
For these lots, the pervious area CN (lawn, good
condition) is 74 and the impervious area is 25 percent.
Use figure 2-4 to compute the CN for these lots. CN’s
for the 1/2-acre lots on Memphis soil and the open

Travel time (Tt) is the time it takes water to travel Computation of travel time and

downstream more rapidly. Travel time through the
watershed is generally decreased. Tc = time of concentration (hr)
m = number of flow segments
Channel shape and flow patterns

In small non-urban watersheds, much of the travel

time results from overland flow in upstream areas.
Typically, urbanization reduces overland flow lengths
by conveying storm runoff into a channel as soon as
possible. Since channel designs have efficient hydrau-
lic characteristics, runoff flow velocity increases and
travel time decreases.

Slope

Slopes may be increased or decreased by urbanization,

depending on the extent of site grading or the extent
to which storm sewers and street ditches are used in
the design of the water management system. Slope will
tend to increase when channels are straightened and
decrease when overland flow is directed through
storm sewers, street gutters, and diversions.

• The watershed may have only one main stream or,

if more than one, the branches must have nearly
equal TC' s.

• The method cannot perform valley or reservoir

routing.

• The Fp factor can be applied only for ponds or

swamps that are not in the Tc flow path.

• Accuracy of peak discharge estimated by this

method will be reduced if Ia/P values are used that
are outside the range given in exhibit 4. The limit-

If desired, the entire composite hydrograph can be

approximated by linear extrapolation as follows:

1. Set up a table similar to worksheet 5b. Include on

this table the full range of hydrograph times dis-
played in exhibit 5.
2. Compute the subarea discharge values for those
times and insert them in the table.
3. Sum the values to obtain the composite

4. Apply linear extrapolation to the first two points

small detention basins.
The detention basin is the most widely used measure
for controlling peak discharge. It is generally the least
expensive and most reliable of the measures that have
been considered. It can be designed to fit a wide
variety of sites and can accommodate multiple outlet
spillways to meet requirements for multifrequency
control of outflow. Measures other than a detention
basin may be preferred in some locations; their omis-
sion here is not intended to discourage their use. Any
device selected, however, should be assessed as to its
function, maintenance needs, and impart.

Estimating the effect of storage

When a detention basin is installed, hydrologic routing
procedures can be used to estimate the effect on
hydrographs. Both the TR-20 (SCS 1983) and DAMS2
(SCS 1982) computer programs provide accurate
methods of analysis. Programmable calculator and
computer programs are available for routing
hydrographs through dams.

This chapter contains a manual method for quick

estimates if the effects of temporary detention on peak
discharges. The method is based on average storage
and routing effects for many structures.

worksheet 6a is used to estimate required storage (Vs
= 5.9 acre-ft) and maximum stage (Emax = 105.7 ft).

The rectangular weir was chosen for its simplicity;

however, several types of outlets can meet the outflow
device proportion requirement. Most hydraulic refer-
ences, along with considerable research data that are
available, provide more guidance on variations of
outlet devices that can be summarized here.

An outlet device should be proportioned to meet

specific objectives. A single-stage device was specified
in this example because only one storm was consid-
ered. A weir is suitable here because of the low head.
The weir crest elevation is 100.00 ft.

Using Vs = 5.9 acre-ft (figure 6-2, step 9) and the eleva-

tion-storage curve, the maximum stage (Emax)
is 105.7 ft.

The rectangular weir equation is

1.5
q o = 3.2 Lw H w [eq. 6-4]

where
qo = peak outflow discharge (ft3/s)
Lw = weir crest length (ft)
Hw = head over weir crest (ft)

Hw and qo are computed as follows:

Hw = Emax – weir crest elevation
= 105.7 - 100.0 = 5.7 ft.

Example 6-3 Estimating qo

A development is being planned for a 10-acre water-

shed (0.0156 mi2). A county ordinance requires that
the developed-condition outflow from the watershed
for 24-hr, 100-year frequency storm does not exceed
the outflow for present conditions. The peak discharge
from the watershed for present conditions, 35 ft3/s, is
calculated from procedures in chapter 4. For devel-
oped conditions, runoff (Q) is 5.4 inches, peak dis-
charge from the watershed is 42 ft3/s from procedures
in chapter 4, and rainfall distribution is type II.
What will be the peak outflow discharge (qo) from a
detention basin that is located at the outlet and has
maximum allowable storage volume (Vs) of 35,000 ft3
and peak inflow discharge (qi) of 42 ft3/s? Figure 6-4
shows how worksheet 6b is used to estimate qo as 33

device will be selected to discharge 33 ft3/s at a stage
corresponding to a Vs of 35,000 ft3.

subarea 6

After computing the outflow hydrograph, determine

the maximum permissible outflow discharge from
subarea 6. The present condition peak discharge at the
outlet of subarea 7 is 750 ft3/s at 14.3 hr (figure 5-2),
and the developed condition peak discharge at the
outlet of subarea 7 minus subarea 6 is 638 ft3/s (table
above). The difference between these two discharges,
82 ft3/s, is the maximum outflow discharge (qo) for the
detention basin.

Next, determine the peak discharge for subarea 6 for

developed conditions by substituting values in equa-
tion 5-1:

moderately fine to moderately coarse textures. These
soils have a moderate rate of water transmission (0.15-
0.30 in/hr).

Group C soils have low infiltration rates when thor-

oughly wetted and consist chiefly of soils with a layer
that impedes downward movement of water and soils
with moderately fine to fine texture. These soils have a
low rate of water transmission (0.05-0.15 in/hr).

Group D soils have high runoff potential. They have

very low infiltration rates when thoroughly wetted and
consist chiefly of clay soils with a high swelling poten-
tial, soils with a permanent high water table, soils with a
claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and shallow
soils over nearly impervious material. These soils have a
very low rate of water transmission (0-0.05 in/hr).

In exhibit A-1, some of the listed soils have an added

modifier; for example, “Abrazo, gravelly.” This refers to
a gravelly phase of the Abrazo series that is found in
SCS soil map legends.

Appendix C Computer Program

The TR-55 procedures have been incorporated in a

computer program. The program, written in BASIC,
requires less than 256K memory to operate and was
developed for MS-DOS operating system. Users of the
program, however, still need to be familiar with the
procedures in this TR. Features of the program include
the following:

• The full screen (24 lines, 80 columns) is used to

enter data. Flexibility of coding allows movement
about the screen for quick data modifications.

• Function keys provide menu power to different

modules (TR-55 chapters) within the program.
Some keys are permanently defined while others
vary by module.

• Help screens provide pertinent information to the

program. Two types of information are included:
(1) define system operation and (2) describe input
parameters.

• User files provide for optional entry of local data,

such as rainfall-frequency. graphic peak discharge
equation coefficients, and tabular hydrographs for
other rainfall distributions.

Copies of the program can be obtained from—
