Abstract
A stochastic simulation methodology was developed for the rainfall-runoff process to assist in the assessment of nonpoint source pollutant loads, particularly for engaged watersheds where there is a scarcity or complete lack of historical data. The methodology was developed based on simulating individual rainfall-runoff events. A simulation model employed a rainfall simulator to stochastically generate rainfall event characteristics for input into basin hydrologic transformation functions which then predicted the corresponding runoff hydrographic characteristics.
