Q & A

What is the main topic of this lecture?

The main topic of the lecture is flood discharge estimation, specifically focusing on methods used when only rainfall data is available.

What is the 'rational method' for estimating flood discharge?

The rational method is used to estimate flood discharge based on rainfall data. It uses a formula that involves the runoff coefficient, rainfall intensity, and the area of the drainage basin.

What assumptions are made in the rational method of flood discharge estimation?

The assumptions include: the rainfall duration is equal to the time of concentration (TC), rainfall is uniform across the drainage area, the return period of peak discharge equals the return period of rainfall intensity, and all rainfall is converted into runoff.

What is the time of concentration (TC) in flood discharge estimation?

The time of concentration (TC) is the time required for water to travel from the farthest point of a drainage area to its outlet. It is an important parameter in estimating flood discharge using the rational method.

What is the significance of the runoff coefficient (C) in flood discharge calculations?

The runoff coefficient (C) represents the proportion of rainfall that turns into runoff. It is influenced by factors like land cover, soil type, vegetation, and rainfall characteristics. Different C values are used for storm, monthly, and annual rainfall.

How is the runoff coefficient (C) determined?

The runoff coefficient (C) is determined by analyzing factors such as land type, vegetation, slope, and rainfall intensity. It varies based on the characteristics of the watershed or drainage area.

What is the formula for calculating peak flood discharge (Q) using the rational method?

The formula for calculating peak flood discharge is Q = F × C × I × A, where Q is the peak discharge (m³/s), F is a correlation factor, C is the runoff coefficient, I is the rainfall intensity (mm/h), and A is the area of the watershed (km²).

What is the role of rainfall intensity (I) in flood discharge estimation?

Rainfall intensity (I) is a crucial factor in the rational method. It represents the maximum rainfall rate over the time of concentration and significantly impacts the amount of runoff and the resulting peak discharge.

What methods are used to calculate the time of concentration (TC)?

The time of concentration (TC) can be calculated using the formula TC = 0.065 × (L × S)^0.77, where L is the length of the stream (m), and S is the slope of the stream, calculated as the height difference divided by the length.

What is the purpose of the runoff hydrograph in flood analysis?

The runoff hydrograph is used to visualize the flow of water in a watershed over time, showing the peak flow and recession phases. It helps in understanding how the watershed responds to rainfall events and is critical in flood risk analysis.
