Volume-duration growth curves for flood estimation in permeable catchments
نویسنده
چکیده
The volume and duration of groundwater discharge following extreme winter recharge events in permeable catchments can often be more disruptive than the peak discharge. An estimation procedure for annual maxima flood series in permeable catchments is extended to annual flood volumes for different durations. Growth factors for durations of 1 to 30 days and return periods of up to 250 years are derived for a sample of 12 permeable catchments in the UK. In most cases, adjusting the growth curves for ‘non-flood’ years has only a small effect and Lmoment parameters show little change with duration. L-CV and L-skewness are highly correlated for the sample of Chalk catchments.

Estimation of the Relative Severity of Floods in Small Ungauged Catchments for Preliminary Observations on Flash Flood Preparedness: A Case Study in Korea
An increase in the occurrence of sudden local flooding of great volume and short duration has caused significant danger and loss of life and property in Korea as well as many other parts of the World. Since such floods usually accompanied by rapid runoff and debris flow rise quite quickly with little or no advance warning to prevent flood damage, this study presents a new flash flood indexing m...

The goal of this study is to develop an objective methodology for estimating design floods, i.e. the flood peak discharge with return period T , at ungauged river catchments in Iceland. First, a regional flood frequency analysis is presented for estimating the T -year flood peak discharge with fixed duration D, Q(T,D), for poorly gauged and ungauged catchments. This is done by scaling a regiona...
متن کاملApplication of Discriminant Analysis to Estimate Instantaneous Maximum Discharge for Catchments in West of Iran
Accurate estimate of flood flows at selected return periods is a fundamental step in flood control and design of hydraulic structures. Due to the inadequacy or unavailability of flood flow records in several western catchments of Iran, traditional regional flood frequency methods lead to remarkable estimate errors, particularly for long return periods. In this research, discriminant analysis is...
متن کاملA Regional Methodology for Deriving Flood Frequency Curves (FFC) in Partially Gauged Catchments with Uncertain Knowledge of Soil Moisture Conditions
In this paper a Monte Carlo procedure for deriving frequency distributions of extreme discharges starting from a simplified description of rainfall and surface runoff processes and using regional data is presented. The procedure is based on two modules: a stochastic rainfall generator module and a catchment response module. In the rainfall generator module the rainfall storm, i.e. the maximum r...

In this paper, the El-Hames empirical method was used to determine the peak runoff flow in Iranshahr catchment. The El-Hames method is based on morphological parameters and SCS Curve Number of the studied area. The implementing was processed by collecting the required data including soil type and vegetation cover, land use maps, digital elevation model and satellite images from the associated i...
