heal.abstract	A simple model for runoff estimation is presented, with particular reference to Athens basin. The method is based on assumptions of a symmetrical exponential storm profile and a linear cumulative area - time relation, while a power law is postulated for correlating the storm peak factor with rainfall duration. A general expression is derived for the peak flow and discussed in comparison with the rational formula. Further, the outflow hydrograph from subcatchments of uniform characteristics is approximated by a triangular form. The model parameters for the Athens area are estimated from local rainfall data. Specific applications in Athens basin indicate good agreement with results of established techniques or observations, implying that the present method may constitute a useful tool in design practice.	en
