Abstract
Rainfall and runoff depths were analysed for 47 storms recorded on three urban drainage basins in Canberra, Australia. Three runoff mechanisms have been identified: runoff generated on effective impervious surfaces in all storms; runoff from pervious areas of small storage capacity during both large and small storms; and runoff from pervious areas of large storage capacity for larger storms. The data indicate that pervious surface runoff is generated on only a small part of the total basin area.Keywords
