Storm Duration and Antecedent Moisture Conditions for Flood Discharge Estimation

摘要

Design flows estimated by flood hydrograph simulation can be reasonably accurate or greatly in error, depending upon the modeling procedures and inputs selected. The objectives of this research project were (1) to determine which combinations of modeling procedures and inputs yield the best discharge estimates under various conditions and (2) to develop specific guidelines for flood hydrograph simulation for possible inclusion in the KDOT Design Manual.
