WECS/DHM STUDY METHOD:

Required Parameter:
Catchment Area (A) in Km2= 36.7

Formulae:
Q2  1.8767( A  1) 0.8783
Q100  14 .63( A  1) 0.7342

where, subscript 2 and 100 stand for return periods in no. of years.
A= Catchment area in sq.Km

The flood flows for any return period R is governed by

QR  exp(ln Q2  S )
  ln(Q100 / Q2 ) / 2.326
where, σ is the standard deviation of the natural logarithms of annual floods.
And, S stands for a standardized normal variate for a particular return period R.
Table 1: Return Period
Return
Period 2 5 10 20 50 100 200
S 0 0.842 1.202 1.645 2.054 2.326 2.576

Calculation:
Q2 = 45.47088866 m3/sec
Q100= 210.1813346 m3/sec
σ = 0.658167818
Q50 = 175.7300498 m3/sec

MEDIUM HYDRO STUDY PROJECT APPROACH:

Required Parameter:
Catchment Area (A) in Km2= 36.7

Formula:
Q  KA n

Where, K and n are coefficients depending upon Return period.


A= Catchment Area in Sq.km

Table 2: K and n values for different Return Periods


Return Period
K n
5 1.6762 0.966
20 3.2303 0.9281
50 4.609 0.9071
100 5.9865 0.8888

Calculation:
3
Q50 = 121.036 m /sec
3
Q100 = 147.180 m /sec
