Tag Archives | Estimation of Peak Flood Discharge

The design of structures on a river, such as dams, spillways, earthen embank­ments, flood control reservoirs, etc., requires information about the maximum (or peak) flood discharge in the river. For gauged watersheds, one can use the collected data and analyse them to get peak flood in the river. But, for un-gauged watersheds, one has to use empirical relations. In 1985, [...]
