Abstract :The purpose ofthis study is to bring up variation of soil water storage capacity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(S); based on probability distributions on vvatersheds, and to compare S obtained from probability distribution to S according to Soil Conservation Service insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SCS);. İn order to explaining variation in S, maximum 24-h rainfall for each month ana the associated runoff volüme recorded in three vvatersheds insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Uğrak, Akdoğan, Ikikara); vvhich has controlled by Tokat Research Institute of Rural Services was used. Normal, log normal, extreme value type I, and log pearson type III distributions were taken into account for S in this study. S values of these mentioned vvatersheds vvere fıtted better to log normal distribution than the others insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(normal, extreme value type I, and log pearson type III distributions );. S values of each vvatersheds for 10, 50 and 90 % probability levels vvere götten from freçuency lines based on log normal distribution. Aftervvards, for these S values, curve numbers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CN);0, CN50, CN90); vvere determined. These CN values vvere compared to CN values insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CN,, CN„, CN,,,); based on SCS for dry antecedent condition, normal antecedent condition, and wet antecedent condition. This study was shovved that CN,0, CN50. CNM vvere similar to CN,, CN„, CN,,, for each vvatershed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Uğrak, Akdoğan, Ikikara);.
Keywords : maximum 24 h rainfall, SCS, curve number, soil vvater storage capacity
