What is CN in hydrology?

The Runoff Curve Number (also called a curve number or simply CN) is an empirical parameter used in hydrology for predicting direct runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess. High CN values (such as 98 for pavement) cause most of the rainfall to appear as runoff, with minimal losses.

What is Curve Number and on what factors it depends?

The Curve Number (CN) is a dimensionless parameter related to the potential maximum retention expressed in millimeters. It ranges from 0-100. A CN value of 100 represents a condition of zero potential retention and CN= 0 represents an infinitely abstracting catchment with S= ∞.
The Curve Number CN depends upon the following listed below
1. Soil Type
2. Land Use/Cover
3. Antecedent moisture condition
