Flood Screening & Auto Curve Number Map

Draw a site and auto-derive a TR-55 Curve Number from satellite land cover and SoilGrids soil, plus screening hydrology (Rational, SCS-CN, Tc), DEM terrain analysis, a delineated catchment, a flood-risk band and the studies you'll need — every assumption declared.

Run site screening →
Q = (1/n)·A·R2/3·S1/2

Manning's Equation — Pipe & Channel Flow

Full and partial circular pipe capacity, plus trapezoidal open-channel flow with Froude number. Velocity, discharge and flow regime — instantly.

Q = C·i·A / 360

Rational Method — Peak Runoff

Peak discharge for small catchments with composite runoff coefficient support and a built-in C reference table for common surfaces.

Tc = 0.0195·L0.77·S−0.385

Time of Concentration — Kirpich & FAA

Two methods computed side by side from one set of inputs, with guidance on when each is appropriate. Feeds straight into the Rational Method.

Bridge Pier Scour — HEC-18 / CSU

Local scour at a pier with live scour-hole section — nose shape, skew and bed-condition factors, plus the HEC-18 upper-limit check most calculators skip.

Open calculator →
Q = 1.66·P·d1.5 | 0.67·A·√(2gd)

Gully / Inlet Capacity — HEC-22 Sag

Grate and curb-opening inlets in sag — weir and orifice regimes computed together, clogging factor applied, live gutter section showing the ponding.
