HYDROLOGY - AN EXPOSURE
Intermediate 10 to 60 12 to 30 SPF
Formulae Approach.
Empirical
Envelop curves
Statistical approach, commonly known as
Flood Frequency Approach.
Hydrometeorological approach, commonly
known as the Unit Hydrograph Approach
DESIGN FLOOD - METHODS
Envelop curves - Principle
maximum floods per unit area experienced in one basin is quite
likely to be experienced in nearby basin in the same region having
same climatological and physiographic characteristics
PMFs estimated by Central Water Commission (and other
organisations) between 1980-91 utilised for developing envelope
curves for PMF peaks.
equation:
Upper envelopes Qu = 1585 A0.35
Average line, Qav = 398 A0.425
Lower envelope, QL = 100 A0.5
DESIGN FLOOD - METHODS
Statistical Methods:
combination of numerous factors producing floods are matter of
pure chance and therefore are subject to analysis according
to the theory of probability.
Applied on discharge data either directly observed at the site of
study or estimated by the suitable method
Annual peak flood series –excludes all second and third and
so on rankings in the year
Partial duration - all events above a certain threshold and
INDEPENDENT are included in the analysis
DESIGN FLOOD - METHODS
Statistical Methods:
Hydrometeorolgical approach
Conceptual analysis of causative factors –
rainfalls, evaporations, infiltrations, basin
storages (natural and artificial), surface
drainage properties, sub surface drainage
properties, vegetation , land use etc etc
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL APPROACH
Mathematically it has two
broad components:
