This module introduces students to two different infiltration approaches:  Green-Ampt and SCS (Soil Conversation Service) Curve Number methods.  As students work through the module, they compute the amount of runoff generated from a rainfall event for an actual watershed, learn the details of each approach and how each method is implemented, an gain valuable insight as to the strengths and limitations of each.
