Hydrologic design
• Water control– Peak flows, erosion, pollution, etc.
• Water management– Domestic and industrial use, irrigation, instream flows, etc
• Tasks– Determine design inflow– Route the design inflow– Find the output
• check if it is sufficient to meet the demands (for management)• Check if the outflow is at safe level (for control)

Return Period
• Random variable:• Threshold level:• Extreme event occurs if: • Recurrence interval: • Return Period:
Average recurrence interval between events equalling or exceeding a threshold

Risk Analysis
• Uncertainty in hydrology – Inherent - stochastic nature of hydrologic phenomena– Model – approximations in equations– Parameter – estimation of coefficients in equations
• Consideration of Risk– Structure may fail if event exceeds T–year design
magnitude

Hydroeconomic Analysis
• Probability distribution of hydrologic event and damage associated with its occurrence are known
• As the design period increases, capital cost increases, but the cost associated with expected damages decreases.
• In hydroeconomic analysis, find return period that has minimum total (capital + damage) cost.
9
Design Storms
• Get Depth, Duration, Frequency Data for the required location
• Select a return period• Convert Depth-Duration data to a design
hyetograph.

TP 40
• Hershfield (1961) developed isohyetal maps of design rainfall and published in TP 40.
• TP 40 – U. S. Weather Bureau technical paper no. 40. Also called precipitation frequency atlas maps or precipitation atlas of the United States.– 30mins to 24hr maps for T = 1 to 100

Design areal precipitation
• Point precipitation estimates are extended to develop an average precipitation depth over an area
• Depth-area-duration analysis – Prepare isohyetal maps from point precipitation
for different durations– Determine area contained within each isohyet– Plot average precipitation depth vs. area for each
duration

Depth (intensity)-duration-frequency
• DDF/IDF – graph of depth (intensity) versus duration for different frequencies– TP 40 or HYDRO 35 gives spatial distribution of
rainfall depths for a given duration and frequency– DDF/IDF curve gives depths for different durations
and frequencies at a particular location– TP 40 or HYDRO 35 can be used to develop
DDF/IDF curves
• Depth (P) = intensity (i) x duration (Td) diTP

IDF curve
26
Example 14.2.1
• Determine i and P for a 20-min duration storm with 5-yr return period in Chicago
From the IDF curve for Chicago,
i = 3.5 in/hr for Td = 20 min and T = 5yr
P = i x Td = 3.5 x 20/60 = 1.17 in

SCS MethodSCS (1973) adopted method similar to DDF to develop dimensionless rainfall temporal patterns called type curves for four different regions in the US.SCS type curves are in the form of percentage mass (cumulative) curves based on 24-hr rainfall of the desired frequency.If a single precipitation depth of desired frequency is known, the SCS type curve is rescaled (multiplied by the known number) to get the time distribution. For durations less than 24 hr, the steepest part of the type curve for required duraction is used

SCS Method Steps
• Given Td and frequency/T, find the design hyetograph
1. Compute P/i (from DDF/IDF curves or equations)2. Pick a SCS type curve based on the location 3. If Td = 24 hour, multiply (rescale) the type curve with P to
get the design mass curve1. If Td is less than 24 hr, pick the steepest part of the type curve
for rescaling
4. Get the incremental precipitation from the rescaled mass curve to develop the design hyetograph

Example – SCS Method• Find - rainfall hyetograph for a 25-year, 24-hour duration SCS
Type-III storm in Harris County using a one-hour time increment
• a = 81, b = 7.7, c = 0.724 (from Tx-DOT hydraulic manual)
• Find – Cumulative fraction - interpolate SCS table– Cumulative rainfall = product of cumulative fraction * total 24-hour
rainfall (10.01 in)– Incremental rainfall = difference between current and preceding
cumulative rainfall

Alternating block method• Given Td and T/frequency, develop a hyetograph in
Dt increments1. Using T, find i for Dt, 2Dt, 3Dt,…nDt using the IDF curve
for the specified location2. Using i compute P for Dt, 2Dt, 3Dt,…nDt. This gives
cumulative P.3. Compute incremental precipitation from cumulative P.4. Pick the highest incremental precipitation (maximum
block) and place it in the middle of the hyetograph. Pick the second highest block and place it to the right of the maximum block, pick the third highest block and place it to the left of the maximum block, pick the fourth highest block and place it to the right of the maximum block (after second block), and so on until the last block.
