FLOOD ESTIMATION

By Rational Method :

Area of catchment, A = 8.650 km2 = 865 Hectares

Length of longest stream, L = 9.150 km
The fall in level between source and site, H = 10.0 m
Co-efficient of Runoff, P = 0.50 Sandy Silty Soil, lightly covered
Point Rainfall Intensity (100year - 24hr) = 24 cm Plate 10, CWC Report Upper Indo-Ganga Plains subzone 1(e)
Conversion factor (100year - 1hr) = 0.340 Fig. 10, CWC Report Upper Indo-Ganga Plains subzone 1(e)
100 years, 1 hour Rainfall, Io = 8.16 cm / hr
f - curve = 0.99

Concentration time, tc

tc = ( 0.87 X L3 / H )0.385
= 5.0368 hours

Critical Intensity of Rainfall, Ic

Ic = Io (2 / tc+1)
= 2.70 cm / hr

Runoff, Qd

Qd = 0.028 x P x f x A x Ic
= 32.411 m3 / sec
