Abstract: Three different approaches can be used for the hydrologic design of flood control detention ponds that service urban catchments: (1) design storm approach; (2) continuous simulation approach; and (3) analytical probabilistic ...

Abstract: The hydrologic design standards for urban drainage systems are commonly based on the frequency of occurrence of heavy rainfall events. Observations of recent climate history indicate that the frequency of occurrence of ...

Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to examine and recommend procedures that can be used to statistically test the exponentiality of large amounts of sample data for rainfall event volume, duration, and interevent time. Based ...

Abstract: The total runoff reduction efficiency of infiltration trenches can be used as the primary indicator of their stormwater management performance. In this technical note, analytical equations are derived for estimating the ...

Abstract: For many locations, exponential probability distributions fit well the frequency distributions of rainfall event volume, duration, and interevent time. Based on these exponential distributions and a simplified scheme for ...

Abstract: The recently developed analytical probabilistic approach was used for estimation of peak discharge rates in a practical design case. The results were compared with those from the commonly used design storm approach. ...

Abstract: Effective discharge

Abstract: The total runoff reduction efficiency of infiltration trenches can be used as the primary indicator of their stormwater management performance. In this technical note, analytical equations are derived for estimating the ...

Abstract: An analytical probabilistic approach was developed in earlier studies to estimate design flood peaks from small urban areas. Developed in this paper are methods of incorporating the curve-number procedure for rainfall loss ...
