Beyond the SCS‐CN method: A theoretical framework for spatially lumped rainfall‐runoff response

Since its introduction in 1954, the Soil Conservation Service curve number (SCS‐CN) method has become the standard tool, in practice, for estimating an event‐based rainfall‐runoff response. However, because of its empirical origins, the SCS‐CN method is restricted to certain geographic regions and l...
