recommendations based on studies of mountain streams in Colorado (Jarrett, 1985). Channel velocities were determined using an HEC-2 subcritical analysis of surveyed cross sections or estimated using SCS velocity curves (SCS, 1986). Curve Numbers were obtained following recommendations for Hydrologic Soil Group "D" soils (SCS, 1986). Using this information, the per cent of land use in each catagory in each catchment was determined using Figure 3, and average curve numbers were calculated for each catchment. An average ARC (AMC) oflI was assumed. Please refer to Table 1. Time of concentration calculations are shown in the Appendix. Time of concentrations for each catchment are summarized in Table 2.
