ESTIMATION OF DESIGN FLOOD DISCHARGE MATTAINASAU VILLAGE ON WAILSE­
MONASAVU DAM ROAD
By Rational method
Design discharge Q = C x ic x A
Catchment Area of Watershed A = 53.84 Km2 = 5383.791 Hectares
Length of longest stream L = 8.091 Km
Avg. Slope of the Overland Flow S = 0.050 5 in 100

Time of Concentration by Kirpich's Formula = 3.97 L / (S)0.5 0.77 Refer FHWA guidelines
(tc)

tc = 62.93 Minutes = 1.05 Hours

Runoff Co-efficient as per terrain condition, C = 0.2 For Hilly undeveloped area with average
slope of 10 to 20%
FOR RETURN PERIOD ( T = 25 Years)
P (24‐hrs Max. Rainfall for T = 25 Years) = 332 mm (Duration tR = 24 Hrs )
Design (Critical) Intensity of Rainfall ic = 168.80 mm/hrs = 0.0000469 m/sec
ic = ( P / tR) x (tR + 1) / (tc + 1)

Design discharge Q (For T = 25 Years) = 0.20 x 0.0000469 x ( 53.84 x 1.0E+06 )

= 504.9 Cumecs

FOR RETURN PERIOD ( T = 50 Years)

P (24‐hrs Max. Rainfall for T = 50 Years) = 370 mm (Duration tR = 24 Hrs )
Design (Critical) Intensity of Rainfall ic = 188.11 mm/hrs = 0.0000523 m/sec
ic = ( P / tR) x (tR + 1) / (tc + 1)

Design discharge Q (For T = 50 Years) = 0.20 x 0.0000523 x ( 53.84 x 1.0E+06 )

= 562.7 Cumecs

FOR RETURN PERIOD ( T = 100 Years)

P (24‐hrs Max. Rainfall for T = 100 Years) = 390 mm (Duration tR = 24 Hrs )
Design (Critical) Intensity of Rainfall ic = 198.28 mm/hrs = 0.0000551 m/sec
ic = ( P / tR) x (tR + 1) / (tc + 1)

Design discharge Q (For T = 100 Years) = 0.20 x 0.0000551 x ( 53.84 x 1.0E+06 )

= 593.1 Cumecs

Summary of Hydrological and Hydraulic Analysis FOR XING AT CH. 32/1

NEAR MATTAINASAU VILLAGE ON WAILSE­MONASAVU DAM ROAD

Discharge Summary
Catchment Area = 53.838 Sq. Km
Discharge by Rational Formula (Q25) = 504.87 Cumec
Discharge by Rational Formula (Q50) = 562.65 Cumec
Discharge by Rational Formula (Q100) = 593.06 Cumec

Discharge Adopted for (Q50)

For Fixing Effective Clear Waterway normal to flow 562.65 Cumec

Adequacy of Existing Crossing

Low water stream crossing having 13Nos.­1.2m dia hume pipes
Total Area of Opening through Pipes (A) 14.703 sq.m
Velocity of Flow (V) 3.500 m/sec Assumed
Discharge through the Vents (Qvent) 51.46 Cumec
Overtopping Discharge (Qtop) = Q50 - Qvent 511.19 Cumec
Avg. Width of Water Spread at Top (L) 100.00 m
Overtopping Flow Depth (H) 1.46 m (Qtop / V) / L

Recommendations: Existing Irish Crossing to be retained with following improvement

measures. Road approaches on either side of the crossing will be made of rigid concrete
pavement and be continued upto maximum height of design flood (1.5m above deck top) with a
free board of 0.3m.
