Groundwater Vulnerability to Pollution in Urban Catchments

Volume-based Runoff Coefficeints for Urban Catchments

The rational method is derived as a special case of kinematic wave flow. The definition of runoff coefficient is expanded from the flow-based ratio into volume-based ratio between the volumes under runoff hydrograph and rainfall hyetograph. The new method presented in this paper provides a dimensionless approach to theoretically derive the runoff coefficients for both the conventional two-flow ...

Detention Basin Sizing for Small Urban Catchments

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) method for sizing small detention and retention basins is a volume-based approach that is sensitive to the release rate. In practice, such a release rate is often approximated by open channel hydraulics or culvert hydraulics. Without a consistent guideline, this practice of approximation can result in significant discrepancy or violation of the volume b...

Storm Hydrographs from Small Urban Catchments

The Rational method was reviewed, and found to be a special case of the kinematic wave solution under a uniform rainfall excess. In this study, a moving average procedure is introduced to the kinematic wave model. The kinematic wave solution is modified from an instantaneous rainfall to an average rainfall over a period of time of concentration. The revised kinematic wave solution provides the ...

Regional Analysis Low Flows in the Karkheh and Karoon Catchments

Analysis of low flow is one of the important considerations in any water resource project. Meanwhile, as a general idea it seems that flow control is more important than drought mitigation but it is necessary to pay more attention to drought problem in future projects. In this paper, available data for 28 selected watersheds were analyzed and then Flow Duration Curve was drew, and discharge of ...
