1.6 Maximum flood discharge Maximum flood discharge MFD is the maximum discharge of river during flood. The maximum concentration of flow from a catchment area at the outlet in a small period. It is very important to estimate it accurately as it is the basis of the design of spillway. It is expressed as volume per unit time i.e. cumec (m 3 /s)
Maximum flood discharge measurement
Maximum flood discharge measurement Methods of calculating maximum flood discharge a) Rational method Where, Q = Peak flow in cumec ; i = Rainfall intensity in cm/ hr A = catchment area in hectares; K = runoff coefficient
Maximum flood discharge measurement b) Empirical Formulae i ) Dicken’s formula Q = C x A ¾ Where, Q = Discharge in cumec A = catchment area in sq.Km C = A constant value considered as Region Value of C Northern India 11.4 Central India 13.9 to 19.5 Western India 22.2 to 25
Maximum flood discharge measurement ii) Ryve’s formula Q = C x A 2/3 Where, Q = Discharge in cumec A = catchment area in sq.Km C = A constant value considered as 6.8 iii ) Inglis formula Where , Q = Discharge in cumec A = catchment area in sq.Km
Maximum flood discharge measurement iv) Nawab Jung Bahadur formula – Q = C A’ ( 0.92-1/14 log A ) Where, Q = Discharge in cumec A = catchment area in sq.Km C = A constant varies from 48 to 60 A’ = 0.39A
Numericals Ex 1 . Estimate MFD for a catchment of a proposed reservoir of 245 km 2 in western Maharashtra using Inglis formula. Ans : Given Data, Catchment area A = 245km 2 MFD = ? By Inglis formula = 1886.239 m 3 /sec ( Ans )
Numericals 2. Calculate the maximum flood discharge for a catchment area 1500km 2 using Dicken’s formula. Assume Dicken’s coefficient as 28. Ans : Given Data, Catchment area A = 1500km 2 Dickens constant C = 28 MFD = ? By Dickens’ formula Q = C x A ¾ = 28 x 1500 ¾ = 6748.799 m 3 /sec ( Ans )
Numericals 3. Compute the MFD of a stream over a catchment area of 150 km 2 using: ( i ) Dicken’s formula (C = 27) (ii) Inglis formula. Ans : Given Data, Catchment area A = 150km 2 Dickens constant C = 27 MFD =? ( i ) By Dickens’ formula : (ii) By Inglis formula Q = C x A ¾ = 27 x 150 ¾ = 1157.263 m 3 /sec ( Ans ) = 1457.508 m 3 /sec ( Ans )
