Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is among the cities that are most at risk of fl ooding worldwide. Urbanization processes have led to a change in land use, which in turn has resulted in an increase in impervious surfaces and runoff , thus again leading to the risk of fl ooding in the city. The aim of the article is to study the impact of urban development (on the example of District 8 of HCMC) on surface runoff using a combination of the interpretation of remote sensing images of the earth (ERS) Google Earth and the SCS-CN model (the Soil Conservation Service curve number). Theoretical models are used to analyze the relationship between the typology of buildings and areas of open and impervious surfaces. The interpretation of remote sensing images was carried out in the ArcGIS program. The method used to calculate surface runoff is the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method developed by the US Soil Conservation Service and is suitable for assessing the eff ects of land-use/land cover change due to urbanization. The results of the study show the volume of surface runoff in areas with diff erent levels of urbanization in district 8 of HCMC, assessing the impact of urbanization processes on surface runoff and revealing new opportunities for managing this process. The combination of remote sensing interpretation and SCS-CN model makes it possible to assess the impact of urban development on surface runoff . Urbanization and an increase in built-up area strongly aff ect fl ooding, reducing the soil retention.

Abstract The soil conservation service - curve number method is a globally used approach to simulations of surface runoff for its simplicity and applicability. Nevertheless, relevant simulations require proper setting of the model's components. This work focuses on optimization of initial abstraction ratio λ in the Husí potok sub-catchments in Czech Republic. Due to favorable morphology, the watershed is prone to flash floods and accurate modeling of surface runoff is of high interest. The analysis was conducted using pairs of discharge and rainfall measurements. The results outline that the traditional value λ= 0.2 is too high in this watershed and should be reduced.

Changes in land use in the Cikapundung watershed, ie changes in forest land to built-up land, have an impact on the quantity of river water. Changes in land use in the Cikapundung River catchment are not ideal conditions for absorbing water. If land conversion is not controlled, it can have a large impact on reducing the availability of water resources for subordinate areas or what is called water scarcity. Analysis that takes into account land use and discharge can be done with several hydrological analysis methods, one of them is the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method. Based on the calculation, the CN value was changed in 2014 from 57.275 to 62.591 where land cover changes began to occur.   Keywords: land use, river water, water scarcity, hydrology, CN value

Although many hydrologic models are available for the estimation of direct runoff from storm rainfall, most models are limited because of their intensive input data and calibration requirements. The Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) technique has been applied successfully throughout the entire spectrum of hydrology and water resources, even though originally it was not intended to deal with and solve certain issues such as erosion and sedimentation and environmental engineering. This manuscript includes an updated review of this popular technique with its critical performance analysis under various hydrological applications. The study highlights its provenance and its conceptual and empirical foundations followed by relative significance of the parameter CN and various estimation methods and issues related to the Ia and S relationship. Finally, notable recent advancements available in the literature are discussed for their structural strengths and applicability in real world problems.
