The calculation of runoff and infiltration parameters is a fundamental task for water budget estimation and water resources management. The "Kenessey method" allows these values to be calculated and its use is widespread among water scientists and practitioners. Due to language barriers and inefficient translation in past decades, the method has undergone some misinterpretations and is now far from its original usefulness and purpose. The use of the modified method can give unreal results for specific climatic zones. The purpose of this paper is to point out these methodological variations and to return to the original approach, improving it with modern technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
