Abstract: Natural Resources Conservation Services-Curve Number (NRCS-CN) model is the most commonly used hydrological model for runoff estimation. This paper introduces about the interface developed to estimate curve number and runoff depth for hydrologic evaluations. The programming syntax was developed in Visual Basic 10.0 for its simplicity. The developed tool is easy to handle and can be useful for academicians, scientists and decision makes involved in watershed planning and development.
Keywords: Antecedent moisture condition, curve number
