Design Flood Discharge

The document discusses discharge and hydrographs. It defines discharge as the volumetric flow rate of water through a cross-sectional area. There are two types of discharge: low and high. A hydrograph is a chart that shows how a hydrologic variable changes over time. A storm hydrograph specifically charts the change in a stream's discharge during and after a rainfall event, including approach segment, peak rainfall, rising limb, peak discharge, lag time, falling limb, baseflow, and runoff/storm flow. Design flood discharge is important for protecting structures from flooding and is a key factor in designing highways, bridges and other infrastructure.

Discharge

What is Discharge?
In Hydrology, Discharge is the volumetric flow
rate of water that is transported through a
given cross-sectional area.

Hydrograph
Hydrographs are charts that display the change of a hydrologic variable
over time.

Storm Hydrograph
It shows the change in discharge of a stream/river over time.

Approach Segment
Shows the discharge of the

Peak Rainfall
The maximum amount of
precipitation during a
storm.

By: Rashid Rubin


Results from a rapid
Rising Limb increase in rainwater
reaching the river, gives
an indication of how fast
water is reaching the
channel and represents
the amount of water
rising in the channel.

By: Rashid Rubin


Peak Discharge

The maximum amount of


water in a river after a
rainfall event

By: Rashid Rubin


The amount of time
between peak amount of
rainfall and peak discharge
in the river.

Lag Time

By: Rashid Rubin


Falling Limb
Some rainwater is still
reaching the river, but
in decreasing amounts
through throughflow
and groundwater flow.

By: Rashid Rubin


Releases groundwater,
maintaining the river’s flow
during periods of low
precipitation

BaseFlow

By: Rashid Rubin


The Discharge attributed to a
single storm, both surface and
subsurface flow.

RunOff /
Storm Flow

By: Rashid Rubin


Bank Full Discharge When a River’s water level
reaches the top of its
channel and further increase
will lead to flooding of the
surrounding land.

Why Is Design Flood
Discharge Important?

By: Rashid Rubin


➢ Protection against flood

➢ The first and most important factor to be


decided in the design of highways, bridges and
other structures.

➢ The term “design flood” is used to denote the


maximum flood flow that could be passed
without damage or serious threat to the
stability of engineering structures.
