Wetland Models
\ Novitzki (1979, 1989) outlined 5 basic sets ofhydrologic conditions that cause wetlands. Creating a wetland requires one toreplicate one of these sets of characteristics:
1. Surface water depression wetlands2. Ground water depression wetlands3. Surface water slope wetlands4. Ground water slope wetlands5. Extensive wetlands on flat plains

\ Limitationsâ CNs describe average conditions.
â Time is not a factor, therefore rainfall duration nor intensityare accounted for.
â Does not take into account runoff from snowmelt or rain onfrozen ground.
â CN is less accurate when runoff is < 0.5 inches.
â Applies only to direct subsurface runoff not subsurface flowor high groundwater levels that contribute to runoff.
â If CN < 40 use another method.
