The SCS 4 method was used as the basis <strong>for</strong> deriving a runoff coefficient. The following is the runoff<br />

curves (CN values) adapted <strong>for</strong> the various surface areas.<br />

For the Maranui residential area an overall CN value (run-off coefficient) of 59% was applied.<br />

For the other <strong>catchment</strong>s (P1 to P3) refer to the Opus reports <strong>for</strong> the background in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

<strong>2.</strong>3.1 Runoff Model<br />

The initial model work covered the hydrology analysis and the calibration of the model and was<br />

reported as an update of the system per<strong>for</strong>mance work 1 . The number of <strong>catchment</strong>s in the model<br />

was increased by Beca to be representative of the pre and post development scenarios.<br />

The following tables summarises the volume of runoff <strong>for</strong> the <strong>catchment</strong>s:<br />
