1 Introduction
1.1 Prelude
This report presents the results of a study on the drainage of rainwater at the
intersection of the Second Ring Road with the Khurais Subsidiary Road. The
following is a summary of the main sections of the report:
1. Introduction: In this section, the general project site will be presented, and the
scope of work will be explained.
3. Statistical Analysis of Rainfall Data: This section will present the results of
the statistical analysis of rainfall data from stations affecting the study area. It
will display intensity, duration, and recurrence curves for different return
periods.
5. Proposed Protection Works: This section will present the design dimensions
for the proposed side channels and lakes.
The objectives of this study are to conduct all necessary studies and hydrological
analyses to identify the drainage basins affecting the project. This includes deriving the
associated flow characteristics and proposing a drainage system for rainwater. The
scope of work for the project encompasses the following engineering tasks:
• Data Collection,
The latest computer programs and digital models were utilized for conducting
hydrological and hydraulic calculations and analyses for the drainage basin and
proposed protective structures. The following are key programs and models used in
the initial phase of the study, as well as those planned for use in the detailed phase
(upcoming stage):
• AutoCAD Civil 3D: Employed for drawing the boundaries of drainage basins
and determining their characteristics.
Side protection works and berms External flood hazard mitigation 100 years
The following is an explanation of both methods and how they are applied to estimate
maximum flows and calculate streamflow hydrographs for the drainage basins
affecting the project.

Where:
Tc - Concentration time, generally defined as the time it takes for water to travel from
the farthest point in the basin to the proposed outlet. Concentration time is typically
calculated using the Kirpich equation, particularly popular and widely used in arid and
semi-arid regions, including Saudi Arabia:
0.77
L
Tc = 0.0195
S 0.5
Tl = 0.6Tc
• Where:
• S - Slope of the watercourse extending from the farthest point in the basin to
the proposed outlet (m/m).
• Initial losses of rainfall and the initial storage of the basin (Ia), related to the
water stored in accumulation pools and low areas in the basin and also
depleted during the initial saturation process of the basin surface.
The runoff curve number (CN) represents these losses and is used to calculate runoff.
This method is applied to calculate runoff from basins with an area greater than 81
hectares or 0.81 km².
The method depends on accurately estimating the hydrological coefficients for the
design storm, including the temporal distribution of the storm, initial losses, and
infiltration rate. The maximum possible storage loss in the basin soil (S) and the
expected initial loss (Ia) in the basin are determined using the following equations:
The values for the curve number are determined based on geological maps, aerial
images, and according to tables derived from values in dry and semi-dry areas, as
outlined in the Engineering Guidelines for Flood Hazard Mitigation in Riyadh City.
Table 4 CN values for urban areas
Subsequently, the expected runoff depth (R) occurring over the unit areas of the
drainage basin (mm) is calculated using the following equation:
(P − I )2
R= a
( P + 0.8S )
Where:
The shape of the runoff hydrograph resulting from the SCS Unit Hydrograph Method
depends on the area of the drainage basin and the lag time (Tlag). The lag time is
estimated at 0.6 times the concentration time (Tc) for the basin.
The following equation is used to calculate the maximum possible discharge from the
drainage basin (Qp) due to a runoff depth of 1 mm:
2.08 A
Qp =
T
R
Where:
• TR - Time required for the occurrence of maximum flow (hours), equal to the
lag time (Tlag) plus half of the storm duration.
These equations help in estimating the runoff depth and shaping the hydrograph,
providing insights into the potential maximum flow from the drainage basin.
The Manning equation is considered the most popular and widely used method for
determining flow velocities in open channels and gravity drainage lines for rainwater
pipes operating by gravity. The equation is as follows:
1
V = R2/3 S0.5
n
Where:
• S is the slope of the energy line or the slope of the channel bed (m/m).
The capacity of pipes or open channels is determined using the continuity equation as
follows:
Q=A⋅V

Table 6 The annual data available for the maximum daily rainfall (mm) for the used stations.
Table 7 Maximum daily rainfall depth during the corresponding year for different return periods.
These values, along with the rainfall ratios for short durations, have been used to
deduce the intensity, duration, and frequency curves, as illustrated in Figure No. (4).
This was done using the average rainfall ratio coefficients for short durations in
Riyadh City, as specified in Table No. (8). Additionally, Table No. (9) provides the
rainfall intensity values (mm/h) for each return period at various storm durations.
Table 8 the ratios of short-duration rainfall to daily rainfall for the stations and the average for Riyadh
City.
In accordance with the principles and design standards adopted in the study, as
previously presented, the Rational Method was employed to calculate the maximum
flows resulting from each drainage basin less than 0.81 km².
