Abstract

In the paper an analysis of hydrological losses, observed during storm events recorded in experimental urban catchments, is presented. Random nature of runoff coefficient and its effects on peak discharge estimation are discussed. Simple relationships for estimation of main moments of runoff coefficient are presented.
