Abstract
Figure 6.1 shows an orchard with an understory of grass. Modeling surface runoff from watersheds requires hydraulic parameters that are representative of the cover such as that found under the tree canopies. A general land use/cover map may show this as agricultural or even as an orchard. However, the correct hydraulic roughness depends on the vegetative cover on the soil surface. Deriving hydraulic roughness coefficients for such land use classification schemes is the theme of this chapter.
