FOREWORD

I am happy that Central Water Commission in association with India Meteorological


Department has prepared the PMP Atlases for various basins in the country. These PMP
Atlases would be very useful not only in assessing the inflow design flood for planning of any
water resources project but also in assessing the hydrologic safety of old dams many of
which have aged and require periodic safety review. I am also pleased to note that these
PMP Atlases have been prepared on GIS platform and cover all relevant details such as
pattern of key storms along with their synoptic situations, observed rainfall statistics at
various stations, return period rainfalls at various stations, spatial and temporal distribution of
rainfalls etc. apart from grid wise PMP estimate for quick/direct assessment of applicable
PMP/SPS for a catchment.
I compliment HSO, CWC, IMD and consultant's team for the fine efforts made in bringing this
publication. I am sure that such cooperation between CWC and IMD shall continue and
many more such projects shall be taken up jointly for the benefit of water sector and society.
I am sure this publication shall be of immense use to practicing engineers who have limited
knowledge of storm studies, in the assessment of design storm, the key and the most
influencing factor in the assessment of design flood of any water resources structure.
Preamble
This PMP Atlas of Godavari River Basin has been prepared jointly by Central Water
Commission and India Meteorological Department, Government of India. This Atlas is an
updation of the earlier PMP Atlas prepared in nineties under Dam Safety Assurance and
Rehabilitation Project(DSARP).The Atlas shall be very useful in the assessment of design
storm as required in the assessment of design flood for any water resources development
project.
The grid wise PMPs given in the Atlas may be used for quick/direct assessment of
applicable PMP/SPS for a catchment. However, such assessment should be limited to
small and medium catchments only and should not be used for large catchments.
Also, the detailed and precise analysis would be desirable for taking a final decision
on applicable design storm.
The Atlas also covers very useful information such as patterns of key storms along with their
synoptic situations, rainfall statistics at various stations and for various river basins, temporal
distribution patterns of rainfall etc. which shall be very useful even for carrying the detailed
storm analysis for a project.

Introduction

1 Introduction
1.1 Background
In India, important hydraulic structures for irrigation, water supply and hydropower are
designed depending on the size of the structure and depending on the risk involved in an
event of failure. Accordingly, BIS: 11223, 1985 prescribes the Standard Project Flood (SPF)
and Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) as design flood for intermediate and large dams
respectively. The PMP is defined as the greatest depth of precipitation, which is
meteorologically possible for a given duration over a particular catchment area (WMO,
2009). In the design of small structures, some calculated risk is taken and for that reason,
estimates of maximum point or areal rainfalls for different return periods are used. The
design rainfall studies for many individual river catchments throughout India, where dams
and other water resources projects were built have been carried out by a number of
researchers notably from the Central Water Commission (CWC), the India Meteorological
Department (IMD), the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) and the National
Institute of Hydrology (NIH). Further, these are published in various reports and journals.
Recognizing the importance of PMP studies in dam design works in recent years there have
been major efforts by CWC, Government of India, New Delhi on the preparation of the PMP
atlases for different river basins of India. The purpose is to develop standardized procedures
for estimation of design rainfalls and PMP for various durations at different places in a river
basin so that consistent results can be achieved and amount of subjectivity is reduced.
Consequently, CWC under the Dam Safety Assurance and Rehabilitation Project conducted
the study on preparation of PMP atlases for the six river basins (Cauvery, Godavari,
Mahanadi, Chambal, Narmada-Tapi and the West flowing rivers of Western Ghats) through
WAPCOS (I), Ltd. in 1998 (WAPCOS, 1998). Similar studies for Krishna and Indus River
basins were carried out by IITM, Pune (IITM, 2007).
It is expected that some more severe storms might have occurred since the publication of
PMP atlases in 1998. With reference to the above, CWC desired that all the six existing PMP
atlases prepared by WAPCOS should be updated by using additional storms that have
occurred since the PMP atlases were published in 1998. The work of updating the six PMP
atlases together with the preparation of new PMP atlases for the Ganga and the
Brahmaputra River basins was awarded to RMSI Pvt. Ltd., Noida by CWC, New Delhi.

1.2 Objectives of study


The overall objective of the present work is to prepare new PMP atlases for the Ganga and
Brahmaputra River basins and to update PMP atlases of six river basins that were prepared
by WAPCOS (I), Ltd. in 1998 under the Dam Safety Assurance and Rehabilitation Project.
The focus is to provide improved estimates of design storm rainfalls for different return
periods as well as the PMP values for durations ranging from 1 to 3 days for stations in each
of the river basins using their rainfall records. It also focuses on providing generalized areal
and grid point PMP maps for these three durations.
The atlases will provide a source of readily available design storm rainfalls and PMP values
for different durations for any area of the river basin to design engineers.

Introduction

1.4 Work assignment


The list of various tasks to be carried out under this study is given in the TOR. The work
envisaged is as under:
i. To document all rainstorms affecting above basins and their major sub basins above
a specified threshold intensity by considering all available stations with long period
rainfall data in and around the basin. All historical data up to the current level are to
be considered.
ii. To provide synoptic situations during severe rainstorms.
iii. To prepare highest-ever recorded 1 to 3-day rainfall maps for each of the basins.
iv. To prepare mean monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall maps for all the basins.
v. To estimate point PMP for the durations of 1-day, 2-day and 3-day storms based on
analysis of maximum annual rainfall series of stations in and around the basin by
using Hershfield’s method and to prepare generalized PMP maps for the problem
basins.
vi. To prepare Tables/ generalized maps for 2.33; 5; 10; 25; 50; 100; 500; 1,000; 5,000
and 10,000 year return period rainfall estimates for all stations and to estimate
regional values/sub basin values.
vii. To prepare graphs indicating mean return period values along with 95% confidence
bands.
viii. To prepare isohyetal maps of 1, 2 and 3-day durations for each of the selected
severe rainstorms and to carry out their DAD (Depth-Area-Duration) analysis.
ix. To prepare maps showing transposition limits of severe rainstorms that contribute to
PMP estimates.
x. To estimate standard project storms (SPS) over different sub-basins/ catchments.
xi. To estimate the moisture maximization factor (MMF) using the persistent dew point
data for conversion of SPS to probable maximum storm (PMS).
xii. To prepare barrier adjustment maps showing barrier heights (say about 1,000 m)
relevant to PMP estimation including location corrections. The general guidelines for
such corrections should form part of the report.
xiii. To estimate probable maximum precipitation (PMP) magnitude for each of the basins
and its major sub basins.
xiv. To prepare maps showing PMP depths at 1 degree by 1 degree grid points for each
of the basins.
xv. To provide depth area duration curves for conversion of point PMP depths into areal
depths for small and medium basins up to 10,000 sq. km.

2.1 Study area
2.1.1 GODAVARI BASIN
Godavari is the third largest river basin in India extending over an area of 3,14,835 sq. km.
and is nearly 9.5% of total geographical area of the country (Figure 2-1). It lies between
latitudes 16.50° N and 22.50° N and longitudes 73.50° E and 83.00° E. The basin lies in the
Deccan Plateau, and covers large areas in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra in addition to smaller areas in Karnataka and Odisha. It flows
across the Deccan Plateau from Western Ghats to Eastern Ghats. Four important tributaries
in this river are the Manjira/Manjra, the Pranhita, the Indravati and the Sabari.
Godavari is the biggest of the east flowing rivers in Peninsular India. It flows east across the
Deccan Plateau from the Western Ghats. It arises in Nasik district of Maharashtra about 80
km from the Arabian Sea at an elevation of 1,067 m. After flowing for about 1,465 km in a
generally southeasterly direction through Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, it falls into the
Bay of Bengal about 97 km downstream of Rajahmundry.
About 64 km from its source, the Godavari receives the waters of Darna river and at a short
distance lower down the river, it gets out of the high rainfall zone of the Western Ghats and
there is no further significant contribution to the river flow until about 150 km below when it
receives the combined waters of the Pravara and Mula rivers. About 483 km lower down,
Manjra joins from the south. At this point, the Godavari runs at an elevation of about 329 m
and again enters a rainfall zone of about 1,020 mm (annual) and more. The river Pranhita,
conveying the united water of the Penganga, the Wardha and the Wainganga, falls into the
Godavari about 306 km below the Manjra confluence. About 48 km further downstream, the
Godavari receives the water of the Indravati river. Both Pranhita and Indravati are major
rivers in their own right. Sabari is the last major tributary which falls into the Godavari 100 km
upstream of Rajahmundry.
Slope of the river from its source to initial 100 km is about 2.7 m/km and about 0.3 m/km in
the next 700 km; about 1.19 m/km in the next 160 km up to the confluence of the Godavari
with the Pranhita. In the next reach up to coast, the slope is about 0.23 m/km.
The river Manjra rises in the Balaghat range in the Beed district of Maharashtra at an altitude
of about 823 m. The river flows in a generally east and southeasterly direction for 515 km.
The total length of the river from the source to its confluence with the Godavari, at an altitude
of 329 m is about 724 km. The Manjra and its tributaries have a total catchment area of
about 30,844 sq. km, nearly one tenth of the Godavari catchment.
The Pranhita with its three principal branches, the Penganga, the Wardha and the
Wainganga, is by far the most important tributary of the Godavari. The Penganga rises at an
altitude of about 686 m in the Buldana range in Maharashtra and after flowing for a length of
676 km in a generally southeasterly and easterly direction joins river Wardha at an elevation
of 174 m. Except in its upper most reach of about 161 km, which is mostly barren and hilly,
the river passes through dense the forests in Yeotmal and Nanded districts and is then
joined by several tributaries.
The Wardha rises at an altitude of 777 m in the Betul district of Madhya Pradesh and enters
Maharashtra about 32 km from its source. After flowing further for a distance of 483 km in a
generally southeasterly direction, it joins the Wainganga at an elevation of 145 m. For the
last 42 km of its course, it forms the boundary between Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
Throughout its course, the river flows through dense forests.
River Wainganga rises at an altitude of 640 m in Seoni district of Madhya Pradesh and after
flowing for a short distance, it takes a turn towards the east and then the south forming a

loop. After flowing for a total length of 274 km in Madhya Pradesh, it forms the boundary
between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra for about 32 km. It then continues to flow south
for another 188 km to join the Wardha.
After the confluence of Wainganga and Wardha, the river is called Pranhita, which flows for
113 km along the border between Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh before falling into the
Godavari at an elevation of 107 m.
The Indravati rises at an altitude of 914 m in the Kalahandi district of Odisha on the western
slopes of the Eastern Ghats. It flows westwards through Koraput and Bastar districts and
turns south. It joins the Godavari at an elevation of 82 m and about 531 km from its source.
The important tributaries of the Indravati are Narangi, Boardhing, Kotri and Bandia from its
right and Nandira from its left.
The Sabari, also known as the Kolab, is one of the important tributaries of the Godavari. The
Sabari rises at an altitude of 1,372 m in the Sinkaram hill range of the Eastern Ghats. After
flowing for a short distance in the northwesterly and westerly directions it turns south and
joins the Godavari about 418 km from its source at an altitude of 25 m about 97 km
upstream of Rajahmundry.

Figure 2-1: Godavari River Basin


2.2 Topography
The Godavari basin is bounded on the north by the Satmala Hills, Ajanta Range and
Mahadeo Hills, on the south and east by the Eastern Ghats and on the west by the Western
Ghats. It is roughly triangular in shape and the main river itself runs practically along the
base of the triangle. Except for the hills forming the boundary of the basin, the entire
drainage basin of the river comprises of a series of ridges and valleys interspersed with low
hill ranges. The western edge of the basin is an almost unbroken line formed by the
Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats with heights ranging from 600 to 2,100 m. It has the

PMP Atlas for Godavari River Basin Page 32 of 272


Study Area and its Climatology

heaviest rainfall and the dampest climate in the basin. The interior of the basin is a plateau,
the greater part of which is at an elevation of 300 to 600 m with its general slope eastwards.
Great undulating plains, divided from each other by flat-topped ranges of hills, are the chief
characteristics of this plateau. The Eastern Ghats, which form the eastern boundary of the
peninsula, are not continuous as the Sahyadri range on the west. They rise from the plains
of East Godavari and Visakhapatnam to the level of the table land of Jeypore. The northern
boundary of the basin comprises a series of table-lands varying in elevation from 600 to
1,200 m. To the south, lie great stretches of plains at an elevation of more than 300 m
interspersed with and surrounded by hill ranges, some bare and rocky, but generally covered
with forests and scrub jungles. The delta of the Godavari consists of a wide belt of river
borne alluvium formed by deposits at the mouth of the river over the ages.
2.3 Climate
The Godavari basin has a tropical climate. The basin receives a major part of its rainfall
during the southwest monsoon period. The other rainy seasons are not so well defined and
well spread as the southwest monsoon season. The annual rainfall of the Godavari basin
varies from 3,000 mm to 600 mm. The Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats receives the
heaviest rainfall and has the dampest climate in the basin. Hardly 50 to 60 km east of the
Ghats lie the sparsely cultivated and undulating plains of the Deccan, with a dry climate. The
mean annual surface temperature in the Western Ghats area is about 24 °C and it increases
gradually towards the east and attains a maximum of 29 °C on the East Coast. During
January, the mean daily minimum temperature increases from west to east from 15 °C on
the Western Ghats to about 18 °C on the East Coast. The mean maximum daily temperature
generally exceeds 30 °C in the western part of the Godavari basin and it is only slightly less
than 30 °C in the eastern part.

2.4 Catchments of Godavari


The Godavari basin is divided into 7 catchments and their numbers are assigned from 311 to
317 by IMD. Details of the 7 catchments and areas covered by them are given in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1: Catchments of the Godavari Basin

Sr. No. Catchment No. Description


1 311 Upper Godavari up to confluence with Manjra (excluding Manjra)
2 312 River Manjra
3 313 Middle Godavari (between confluence of Manjra and confluence of Pranhita)
4 314 River Wardha up to confluence of Penganga (including Penganga)
5 315 River Wainganga
6 316 River Indravati
7 317 Lower Godavari (downstream from confluence of Indravati)

Small part of Independent rivers draining between outlets of Godavari and Krishna rivers
have been included with Catchment-317. The east flowing rivers between Mahanadi and
Godavari River Basins have been included in the atlas of Mahanadi and adjoining rivers.
2.5 Climatology
2.5.1 RAINFALL DATA
Rainfall and other meteorological data are needed to estimate the PMP and design storm
rainfalls for different return periods. Because of practical necessity for hydrological and
agricultural studies, rainfall is measured at a number of stations in India. These rainfall
stations are maintained by various official agencies such as IMD, Railways, PWD, and
Agriculture and Revenue departments in the different states. IMD offers necessary
assistance and technical advice to official agencies. As a result, in India considerable data
on rainfall are available for several stations with the National Data Center (NDC), IMD, Pune.

2.5.1.1 Rainfall Data Acquisition
Daily rainfall data of 343 stations in the Godavari River Basin for the period 1901- 2006 was
obtained from NDC, IMD, Pune. Locations of these rainfall stations as well as adjacent
rainfall stations are shown in Figure 2-2. Volume II (Table 1-1) lists these stations along with
their coordinates, their period of records and their locations in the catchment number. Figure
2-3 shows the years of data availability for stations in the Godavari basin. The period of
records for each station varies from 20 to 104 years. According to this figure, there are only
186 stations whose data are available for more than 50 years. Table 2-2 gives the number of
rainfall stations in different catchments of the Godavari River Basin. As shown in Figure 2-2,
data from rain gauge stations from the surrounding catchments was also used to complete
the isohyetal maps of some storms.

2.5.1.2 Quality control and analysis of rainfall data


Rainfall data were available for 343 stations. The rainfall data was compiled in Relational
Data Base Management System (RDBMS) using MS Access. This database consists of the
name of the station, type of station, catchment no., district, date, and rainfall in mm. The
entire period of records at all stations were checked for their errors in archival and formatting
so that the cleaned data becomes well established for their use in the analysis. The methods
used were as follows:
i. The data of each station was first rearranged from two-dimensional format to one-
dimensional format.
ii. The data were then checked for their continuity of completeness and missing dates
were flagged.
iii. Some instances may be found where the rainfall value at a particular station is far
above the majority of rainfall values over the period of the station’s record. This
situation might happen due to either human or machine error. If the value at a station
differs from its corresponding long term mean by more than 5 times standard
deviation, the value is treated as unusually high or an outlier. Statistical test, as
mentioned above, was applied to establish the presence of an outlier. These outliers
were confirmed from IMD. Thus, they have not been used further in the current study.
Observed outliers in the data are given in Table 2-3.

2.5.3 DEW POINT TEMPERATURE DATA


The storm dew point temperatures of stations located near the storm centre as well as along
the path of moisture inflow into the storm area were manually noted from the IMD library
from the Indian Daily Weather Reports (IDWR). The dew point data was collected for both
the main synoptic hours (0830 and 1730 hrs) for the period of 3-4 days of the rainstorm. The
compiled dew point temperature data for the Godavari River Basin collected from the IMD
library have been given in Table 8-5 in Volume II. The temperatures in this table for the
rainstorms (Parbhani-1914, Bichia-1926, Seoni-1930, Telhara -1959, Panchmarhi-1961,
Dharampur-1941, Warora-1986, and Kodur-1989) have been taken from the earlier study
done by WAPCOS. This table gives the daily dew point temperature data corresponding to
storm period, representative 24-hour dew point temperatures and representative 24-hour
dew point temperatures converted to 1,000 hPa for the various stations. The representative
24-hour dew point temperatures converted to 1,000 hPa from various stations were used to
estimate the rainstorm persisting dew point temperature for further use in estimation of
Moisture Maximization Factors (MMF).
2.5.4 METEOROLOGICAL CAUSES OF HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE GODAVARI RIVER BASIN
Most of the annual rainfall over the Godavari River Basin occurs during the southwest
monsoon season of June to September. During this season, cyclonic disturbances are
important synoptic systems that cause heavy spells of rainfall in the Godavari River Basin.
On an average seven cyclonic disturbances (mainly depressions) form in the Bay of Bengal
during the 4 months of June to September. These disturbances generally move in a west-
northwest direction after their formation at the head of the Bay of Bengal up to the central
parts of the country before weakening. It is well known that heavy rainfall occurs in the
southwestern sector of the monsoon depressions due to strong convergence in that sector.
The Godavari River Basin comes in the southwest of monsoon depression tracks and as
such heavy to very heavy rainfall occurs over different parts of the Godavari River Basin.
However, the distribution of heavy rainfall centres is very closely related to their tracks (See
Figures 3-9 to 3-18)
The topography of the Western Ghats also plays an important role in causing heavy rainfall
in the upper reaches of the basin during the southwest monsoon season. During this
season, the southwest monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea are intercepted by the
mountain ranges of the Western Ghats producing very heavy rainfall over the mountainous
part of the basin. In addition, when monsoon depressions are formed in the Bay of Bengal,
the Arabian Sea currents are strengthened and cause heavy rainfall over the mountainous
part of the basin. The leeward side of the basin receives heavy rainfall when depressions/

Study Area and its Climatology

storms from the Bay of Bengal move across the country. The main synoptic situations of the
southwest monsoon system that produce heavy rainfall over the Godavari River Basin are:
1. Formation and subsequent movement of monsoon depressions, low-pressure
systems from the head of Bay of Bengal,
2. Upper air cyclonic circulation over the Peninsula,
3. Well marked seasonal trough in a southerly position, and
4. Trough off the west coast of the peninsula

2.5.5 MONTHLY, PERIODIC AND ANNUAL RAINFALL


Mean monthly, periodic and annual rainfalls, Coefficient of Variation (CV) and Standard
Deviation (SD) for each of the 7 catchments of the Godavari River Basin and the Godavari
River Basin as a whole have been worked out based on the data from year 1951 onwards
for all the rainfall stations in their catchment areas. Table 2-5 shows that mean annual
rainfall of the Godavari River Basin is about 1,100 mm with a CV of 41%. About 92% of the
annual rainfall is received during the period of June to October. The bulk of the remaining
8% occurs mostly in the periods of March to May and November to December. However,
mean annual rainfall over the individual catchments varies widely as shown in Table 2-5 due
to orographic influences and preferential occurrence of rain producing systems in certain
parts of the basin. The mean annual rainfall is as low as 776 mm in the Upper Godavari
catchment no. 311, which lies in the leeward side of the Western Ghats. Rainfall gradually
increases towards the east and north. The Indravati catchment no. 316 receives rainfall as
high as 1,499 mm annually. Volume II (Figure 1-5 to Figure 1-14) shows the spatial
distribution of rainfall during various rainfall periods: January-February, March-May, June-
October, November–December, the annual as a whole and each heavy rainfall month (June
to October).

2.5.6 ANALYSIS OF HIGHEST RAINFALL


Observations indicate that floods in the Godavari River and its tributaries are the result of
heavy rains over the basin. As discussed in the preceding section most often heavy rainfall
in the Godavari River Basin occurs due to the orographic effects of the Western Ghats and
the movement of the cyclonic disturbances from the Bay of Bengal during the southwest
monsoon season. Apparently, information regarding the highest rainfalls that have occurred
at different stations in the Godavari River Basin is of practical value to the engineers for flood
computations related to the design of flood control structures. The highest rainfall values are
also useful for researchers investigating estimation of PMP or extreme rainfall, which is
possible over a given point for a given duration. It is known that the maximization and
transposition of the highest rainfalls give the estimation of the PMP at any point in the basin.
At some places, the highest rainfalls experienced are not far below their respective
estimates of PMP (Dhar et al., 1981; Rakhecha and Pisharoty, 1996).
In view of the importance of the distribution of the highest rainfalls in many types of
hydrologic analysis, this section presents the best available information on the highest
rainfalls for 1, 2 and 3-day durations at different stations in the Godavari River Basin. For this
study, the daily rainfall data of each station of the Godavari River Basin was processed for
the period of its record and, the maximum rainfall values of 1, 2 and 3-day durations were
determined for each year. In this way, a series of 1, 2 and 3-day annual maximum rainfalls
for each station were constructed. From the annual maximum rainfall series of 1 to 3 days,
the highest rainfalls were selected as 1-day, 2-day and 3-day highest ever-recorded rainfall
values for the station. The highest recorded rainfall values of 1, 2 and 3-day durations with
their dates of occurrence for rainfall stations within the Godavari River Basin during their
period of records are given in Table 2-6. In Addition to the stations in the Godavari basin,
Highest 1, 2 and 3-day rainfalls (mm) recorded at different stations in the adjoining
catchments of the Godavari river basin are given in Table 2-7.
To get an overview of the spatial variation of the highest rainfalls, these values for 1, 2 and
3-day durations were plotted separately on a map of the Godavari River Basin and areas of
homogeneous zones of heavy rainfalls were delineated. The resulting spatial patterns are
shown in Volume II (Figure 1-15 to Figure 1-17) which provides the best available
information in the maps created using the highest rainfalls at a point. Interestingly, the
distribution of the highest rainfall has exhibited a definite pattern with heavy shower in
certain regions. Figure 1-15 shows the pattern of the highest 1-day rainfall across the
Godavari River Basin. The highest 1-day rainfalls range from 100 mm over the leeward side
of the Western Ghats to over 500 mm over the central parts of the Godavari River Basin and
the mountainous region of the Western Ghats. The spatial patterns of 2-day and 3-day
highest rainfalls are shown in Figures 1-16 and Figure 1-17 respectively, which show more
or less similar features. These maps of the highest rainfalls give a good indication of the
reliability of estimates of design storm rainfalls in different parts of the Godavari River Basin.

3 Estimation of PMP by Physical Approach


3.1 Details about PMP
3.1.1 INTRODUCTION
It has been recognized that there is a physical upper limit to the amount of precipitation that
can fall over a specified area in a given time. This precipitation, associated with the physical
upper limit, is known as the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP). The dams which
require a high degree of safety are needed to be designed to pass the flood resulting from
the upper limit to precipitation. WMO (2009) defined PMP as the depth of precipitation for a
given duration that is meteorologically possible for a design watershed or a given size storm
area at a particular location at a certain time of year. Such is the conceptual definition of
PMP. The values derived as PMP under this definition with no allowance made for long-term
climatic trends are subject to change as knowledge of the physics of atmospheric processes
increases. They are also subject to change with long-term climatic variations.
Probable maximum precipitation (PMP) was once known as Maximum Possible Precipitation
(MPP), and this latter term is found in most reports on estimates of extreme precipitation
made prior to about 1950. The main reason for the name change to PMP was that MPP
carried a stronger implication of physical upper limit of precipitation than does PMP, which is
preferred because of the uncertainty surrounding any estimate of maximum precipitation.
Procedures for estimating PMP, whether physical or statistical, are admittedly inexact, and
the results are approximations.
3.1.2 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF PHYSICAL METHOD
There are two main approaches to estimate the PMP. The first is the physical or
meteorological approach, which involves the identification of the maximum rainfall produced
by severe rainstorms over the specific catchment and from other neighbouring area. Having
obtained a suitable severe storm database, the process of PMP estimation involves working
out Depth Area Duration (DAD), Depth Duration (DD), envelope/transposed depth, their
temporal and areal distribution, and moisture adjustment parameters. The second is the
statistical approach where the estimates of PMP at a particular location or point are
determined from the frequency analysis of annual maximum rainfall data. This method is
useful when the meteorological data for moisture maximization are not available but where
there is a large amount of rainfall data.
The main assumption in the physical method is that the PMP will result from a rainstorm in
which there is the optimum combination of the available moisture in the atmosphere and the
efficiency of the rainstorm mechanism. Factors, which influence the rainstorm efficiency,
include horizontal mass convergence, topography, induced lifting, vertical motion and the
rate of condensation. Efficiency is the ability of a rainstorm to convert moisture into
precipitation. The extreme observed rainfall values are then maximized by Moisture
Maximization Factor (MMF) to estimate PMP. When the record of rainstorm rainfall over
relatively plain area catchment is not adequate, severe rainstorms are transposed from other
areas, which are meteorologically homogeneous.
3.1.3 METHODS FOR ESTIMATING PMP
As per WMO (2009), there are six methods of PMP estimation currently being used:
(a) The local method (local storm maximization or local model);
(b) The transposition method (storm transposition or transposition model);
(c) The combination method (temporal and spatial maximization of storm or storm
combination or combination model);
(d) The inferential method (theoretical model or ratiocination model);

PMP Atlas for Godavari River Basin Page 69 of 272


Estimation of PMP by Physical Approach

(e) The generalized method (generalized estimation);


(f) The statistical method (statistical estimation).
Most of these methods can be used in medium- or low-latitude areas. In the current study,
primarily two methods; 1) Generalized estimation and 2) Statistical estimation have been
used. The sections below give the details of the generalized method. The other associated
details (storm moisture maximization, rainstorm transposition adjustments, persisting dew
point temperature and maximum persisting dew temperature) with generalized method are
also included in the subsequent sections. The description pertaining to statistical estimation
has been covered in chapter 4 of this report.
3.1.4 PMP BY GENERALIZED METHOD
The generalized method is used to estimate PMP for a large, meteorologically homogeneous
region. The procedure involves compilation and use of observed storm rainfalls for various
major events over the catchment or region. It also includes adjustments for moisture
availability and topographic effects. The storm rain depths are enveloped by smoothing over
a range of areas and durations. This method requires a large amount of long-term data
obtained by rainfall self-recorders in the study area. This is a time-consuming and expensive
process. However, the method can lead to high accuracy and easy application of PMP
results. This method is applicable to watersheds under 13,000 sq. km in orographic regions
and 52,000 sq. km in non‑orographic regions, and rainfall durations up to 72 hours or less
(WMO 2009).
Approach followed in the current study is given in Figure 3-1. The procedure starts with the
acquisition of daily rainfall for various rain gauge stations in and around basin/region under
consideration. The rainfall data is processed to develop the relational database to facilitate
queries, look ups and joining with the other data bases. The comprehensive search for
medium and major storms is conducted based on the defined threshold. This gives the initial
list of the storms. The storm list is finalized based on initial spatial overview, review of
historical records and other factors. All the listed storms are subjected to rainstorm analysis,
which includes isohyets generation and Depth- Area-Duration (DAD) analysis. In the next
step, the dew point temperature data for listed storms is acquired and the storm wise
persisting dew point temperatures are estimated. Using the persisting storm dew point,
maximum persisting dew point, barrier elevations, a Moisture Maximization Factors (MMF)
are estimated all the listed storms.
This study provides the PMP estimates for 1) various catchments in the basin and 2) grid
point placed at regular intervals. These estimates are provided for the range of areas in the
catchment and at the grid points for 1day, 2day and 3day durations.
In case of PMP estimation for various catchments pertaining to non orographic areas, the in-
situ rainstorm analysis using DAD approach and moisture maximization is applied. The
rainstorm maximization includes the estimation of envelope rain depth for range of areas
from all listed storms in and around the catchment. These envelope rain depths are
considered as in-situ Standard Project Storm (SPS) values. The SPS values are then
multiplied by the MMF of storm contributing to envelope curve for the respective area and
duration to the get the PMP estimate. In case of the orographic areas, the rainstorm
analysis is done using Depth-Duration (DD) analysis instead of DAD analysis before the
moisture maximization.
In case of grid point PMP estimation, a grid system is constructed at 1-Degree resolution of
latitudes and longitudes for non-orographic areas. In case of orographic areas, the grid
system of 0.25-0.50 degrees is considered. The rainstorm maximization is done by using the
DAD analysis to estimate the enveloping rain depths at each grid point for range of the areas
and durations (1-3 days). Since, a rainstorm transposition is assumed in this case, the SPS
values are estimated by multiplying the grid rain depths with the Transposition Adjustment
Factors, TAF, (which considered the impact of location adjustment and barrier adjustments).

Estimation of PMP by Physical Approach

Finally, the PMP estimates at each grid point are derived by multiplication of grid SPS and
MMF.

3.1.5 STORM MOISTURE MAXIMIZATION
The PMP for different durations over an area is derived by maximizing the highest rainfalls
obtained from major historical rainstorms that have occurred over the area under study. This
maximization consists of simply multiplying the highest rainfall values by the moisture
maximization factor (MMF). The MMF for a rainstorm in a place is the ratio of precipitable
water corresponding to the maximum persisting dew point temperature on record at the
original location of the rainstorm in the same fortnight of the month in which the rainstorm
occurred to the precipitable water corresponding to the maximum persisting dew point
temperature of rainstorm. The objective of maximization is to determine the physical upper
limit of rainfall, which would result if the moisture available to the storm were at maximum.
Obviously, the most important factor in the moisture maximization is the estimation of
moisture or precipitable water available in the atmosphere. U.S. Weather Bureau (USWB)
(1960), now National Weather Service (NWS) and Reitan (1963) showed that the
precipitable water or moisture in the air mass from which large precipitation occurs can be
estimated from the surface dew point temperatures when saturation and pseudo-adiabatic
conditions are assumed. The MMF, therefore, is determined based on 12-hour or 24-hour
persisting storm dew point temperature and the maximum ever-recorded persisting dew
point temperature for the area under study. The meaning and the method of determining the
12-hour or 24-hour persisting dew point temperature have been discussed in another
section. Both storm dew point temperature and dew point temperature are reduced to the
1,000 hPa level (mean sea level) by using Figure 3-2, so that dew points obtained at
different elevations are comparable. Figure 3-3 gives values of precipitable water (mm)
between 1,000 hPa surface and various pressure levels up to 200 hPa in a saturated
pseudo-adiabatic atmosphere as a function of the 1,000 hPa dew point. The dew points are
converted to precipitable water by the use of Figure 3-3 or from the table (Table 8-1 in
Volume II) such as those given in WMO (2009).

The moisture maximization factor can be computed by

Where,
h1 is mean crest elevation of the barrier between the rainstorm centre and source of
moisture with mean crest elevation higher than that of the rainstorm centre.
W1 is precipitable water in an atmospheric column between 1,000 and 300 hPa levels,
corresponding to the representative persisting storm dew point temperature (d1).
W2 is precipitable water in an atmospheric column between 1,000 and 300 hPa levels,
corresponding to maximum persisting dew point temperature (d2) on record at the location of
the rainstorm in the same fortnight of the month in which the rainstorm occurred
3.1.6 RAINSTORM TRANSPOSITION ADJUSTMENTS
The main purpose of rainstorm transposition is to increase rainstorm experience of an area
by considering not only the rainstorm, which have occurred over and near the area in the
past, but also those rainstorms, which have resulted in heavy rainfall on adjacent areas that
are meteorologically homogeneous. Rainstorm transposition technique is generally applied
to such areas, which have markedly irregular shapes or peculiar orientation. Before applying
the storm transposition technique, following corrections wherever required are to be
considered along with the transposition guidelines as given below.
When no severe rainstorm has occurred in the study area then the nearest available storm
from a meteorologically homogeneous region has to be physically moved to the area under
study. This movement is called transposition of the storm. Important guidelines to storm
transposition needed to be considered are:
(i) Coastal storms should not be transposed to inland areas. Such storms should be
considered for transposition along coastal areas, (ii) storms occurring over mountains should
not be transposed to plains or mountainous areas and (iii) transposition should be avoided if
it requires crossing a barrier having an elevation of more than 800 m. If hill ranges are of
lower elevations transposition may be carried out with the application of suitable adjustment
factors as discussed in the following sections.

3.1.6.1 Location Adjustment Factor (LAF)


Outstanding rainstorms in a meteorologically homogeneous region surrounding a project
basin are often transposed to the basin to frame PMP estimates for the project basin. The
transposition of the rainstorm necessitates application of two adjustments for location and
barrier. The location adjustment factor (LAF) is estimated by

Where,
h1 is mean crest elevation of the barrier between the rainstorm centre and source of
moisture with mean crest elevation higher than that of the rainstorm centre.
W2 is precipitable water in an atmospheric column between 1,000 and 300 hPa levels,
corresponding to maximum persisting dew point temperature (d2) on record at the location of
the rainstorm in the same fortnight of the month in which the rainstorm occurred.
W3 is precipitable water in an atmospheric column between 1,000 and 300 hPa levels,
corresponding to maximum persisting dew point temperature (d3) on record at the
transposed location of the rainstorm in the same fortnight of the month in which the
rainstorm occurred.

Estimation of PMP by Physical Approach

3.1.6.2 Barrier Adjustment Factor (BAF)


The barrier adjustment factor (BAF) is estimated by

Where,
h1 is mean crest elevation of the barrier between the rainstorm centre and source of
moisture with mean crest elevation higher than that of the rainstorm centre.
h2 is mean crest elevation of the barrier between the original location of rainstorm and the
transposed location with mean crest elevation higher than mean elevation of original and
transposed locations of rainstorm.
W3 is precipitable water in an atmospheric column between 1,000 and 300 hPa levels,
corresponding to maximum persisting dew point temperature (d3) on record at the
transposed location of the rainstorm in the same fortnight of the month in which the
rainstorm occurred.

3.1.6.3 Transposition Adjustment Factor (TAF)


The combined effect of location adjustment factor (LAF) and barrier adjustment factors
(BAF) is called the transposition adjustment factor (TAF), thus

Where,
h1 is mean crest elevation of the barrier between the rainstorm centre and source of
moisture with mean crest elevation higher than that of the rainstorm centre.
h2 is mean crest elevation of the barrier between the original location of rainstorm and the
transposed location with mean crest elevation higher than mean elevation of original and
transposed locations of rainstorm.
W2 is precipitable water in an atmospheric column between 1,000 and 300 hPa levels,
corresponding to maximum persisting dew point temperature (d2) on record at the location of
the rainstorm in the same fortnight of the month in which the rainstorm occurred
W3 is precipitable water in an atmospheric column between 1,000 and 300 hPa levels,
corresponding to maximum persisting dew point temperature (d3) on record at the
transposed location of the rainstorm in the same fortnight of the month in which the
rainstorm occurred.

3.1.6.4 Moisture Adjustment Factor (MAF)


The combined effect of MMF, LAF and BAF is expressed by a single term known as
Moisture Adjustment Factor (MAF) and is expressed by the following relation.

MAF can be computed directly by using the following formula:

PMP Atlas for Godavari River Basin Page 74 of 272


Estimation of PMP by Physical Approach

Where,
h1 is mean crest elevation of the barrier between the rainstorm centre and source of
moisture with mean crest elevation higher than that of the rainstorm centre.
h2 is mean crest elevation of the barrier between the original location of rainstorm and the
transposed location with mean crest elevation higher than mean elevation of original and
transposed locations of rainstorm.
W1 is precipitable water in an atmospheric column between 1,000 and 300 hPa levels,
corresponding to the representative persisting storm dew point temperature (d1).
W3 is precipitable water in an atmospheric column at 1,000 and 300 hPa levels,
corresponding to maximum persisting dew point temperature (d3) on record at the
transposed location of the rainstorm in the same fortnight of the month in which the
rainstorm occurred.
Various aspects of elevation barriers h1 and h2 can be understood from the following Figure
3-4:

3.1.7 LIMIT OF TRANSPOSITION


The transfer of storm parameters identified at their places of occurrence to the places where
they could occur is known as storm transposition. The storm transposition is limited to
meteorologically homogeneous regions. There are many areas that have not experienced
severe storms as observed in the vicinity and hence transposition of severe storms is done
to supplement the inadequate records.
Fixing limits to storms for their transposition is one of the most important aspects in a design
storm study. The guide to hydro-meteorological practice (WMO-332) suggests that:
i. The area within the transposable limits may have similar, but not identical,
topographic and climatic characteristics throughout (Para 2.5.1).
ii. It is essential to determine maximum limits of seasonal transposition along
with geographical limits since the storm mechanism may be changing beyond
15 days on either side of the storm period (Para 2.3.1).
iii. In temperate latitudes several lakh sq. km. can be meteorologically
homogeneous. Contiguous homogeneity of such large areas are not possible
in tropical regions (Para 6.1.5).
iv. Series of depths duration values over a catchment for a long period may form
part of the historical evidences to avoid unrealistic exposure to certain parts of
the catchments and help in obtaining realistic estimates of SPS/PMS for large
catchments.
v. Transposition involving elevation differences of more than 800 m are
generally avoided. Regardless an elevation adjustment is used (Para 2.6.2
and 2.6.3) because of their dynamic influences on storms.
vi. Limitation is placed on the rotation of displacement of an isohyetal pattern
(Para 2.11.2).
The area for transposition is considered as 2° latitude x 2° longitude for a nearly flat region
and 1/2° x 1/2° to 1° x 1° in a mountainous region WMO (1986). Mohile, et al. (1983), while
studying the 1982 storm of coastal Odisha, had also verified it to be adequate.
Coastal storms (storms having centered west of the Western Ghat and east of the Eastern
Ghat) were not transposed to catchments located far inland. Storms that occurred in
Orographic regions were not transposed to plain areas and vice versa.
Transposition to catchment larger than 50,000 sq.km may result in unrealistically excessive
PMP estimates (Para 1.3.2). This may result in a severe unrealistic situation of flooding that
is not experienced by the catchment.
Thus, transposability and limits of transposition of an individual rainstorm are governed by
the meteorological conditions associated with the rainstorm, climatic, topographic
characteristic depending upon the type of weather systems which cause rainstorm, and the
direction of movement of these systems. Historical records show the characteristic behaviour
of these weather systems.
3.1.8 PERSISTING DEW POINTS
The concept of persisting dew point has been developed by the USWB (1948) and is
explained in the WMO (2009).
In order to obtain the storm moisture, dew points in respect of stations located in the warm
air flowing into the storm are identified from the surface weather map. While selecting the
stations, care should be taken such that the storm centre should invariably fall close to the
stations. In addition, dew points between the rain area and moisture source have to be given
prime consideration. Dew points in the rain area may be too high because of precipitation,
but they need not be discarded if they appear to agree with dew points outside the rain area.
Of course, one station is inside the heavy rainfall area and the other three in the path of
moisture inflow. The storm dew point is then determined by averaging these four stations.

PMP Atlas for Godavari River Basin Page 76 of 272


Estimation of PMP by Physical Approach

Before averaging, the dew point values are reduced pseudo-adiabatically to the 1,000 hPa
level, so that dew points for stations at different elevations are comparable. The amount of
moisture in the air can be obtained from the single observation of dew point temperature, but
these have certain synoptic limitations and are also susceptible to observational error. The
moisture itself must be such that it persists for a period of several hours rather than minutes.
Thus, the dew point values used to estimate moisture during the storm as well as over the
specific area is based on three or more consecutive dew point values over a reasonable time
interval. The value of the dew point so obtained is called the persisting dew point. Various
meteorological departments worldwide publish the daily dew point data for meteorological
stations. The daily dew point data during a storm period can be collected from such
publications. The general practice is to use the 12-hour or 24-hour persisting dew point. The
maximum persisting 24-hour dew point can be obtained from the series of dew point
temperatures on days as shown in Table 3-1.

In determining the persisting dew point, the consecutive dew points during a 24-hour period
are examined for their reliability and the lowest of these values is selected. The highest
persisting 24-hour dew point for the above series is 24°C.
3.1.9 MAXIMUM PERSISTING 24-HOUR 1,000 HPA DEW POINTS
For obtaining the maximum persisting dew point for any specific area, the long period (say,
20 to 30 years) dew points at several stations within the study area are scanned for a period
of 15 days during which the storm has occurred. For example, if the storm has occurred
during the period August 10-12, the data for the period of August 3 to August 17 is scanned
and the highest persisting dew point for each year for each station is determined. From
these values, the maximum dew point is selected.
Most recently in 2000, India Meteorological Department (IMD) has published fortnightly
maps of the maximum persisting dew point temperatures (for 24 hrs and at 1,000 hPa) for
entire India (IMD, 2000). These maps are based on long-term dew point temperature data.
Total twenty four maps are available corresponding to every fortnight of twelve months of the
year. Prior to these maps, the monthly time step maps were available from various sources
(such as Rakhecha and Kennedy (1985) and Rakhecha et al. (1990)). Because of the recent
publication and availability at fortnight level, fortnightly maps have been used in the current
study for estimating maximum persisting dew point temperature at rainstorm centres and
transposed locations. The map for the first fortnight of June is shown in Figure 3-5. The
maximum persisting dew point temperature maps for 24 hr corresponding to 1,000 hPa for
every fortnight for the months of June to October are shown in Figure 1-18 to Figure 1-27 of
Volume II.

3.2 Analysis of rainstorms
The first requirement for estimating PMP by the hydro meteorological method is to build an
adequate database of severe rainstorms in and around the Godavari River Basin. In the
basin, meteorological situations as explained in section 3.2.2 produce the heaviest
widespread rainfalls.
3.2.1 SELECTION OF RAINSTORMS
For the Godavari Basin, PMP values were derived by WAPCOS in 1998 using the rainfall
data from 1901 to 1989. In this updation study to increase the basket of storms, the daily
rainfall data for the period 1901-2006 were surveyed to determine the rainstorms over the
Godavari River Basin. Using below mentioned criteria, major storms (area up to 1,00,000 sq.
km.) and medium storms (area of about and more than 20,000 sq. km.) were selected. The
criteria of rain spells having recorded rainfall of 200 mm or more in 1-day, 250 mm or more
in 2-day and 300 mm or more in 3-day duration at the centre of the storm was applied to
select the rainstorms. For the rain shadow area, threshold limits have been lowered down,
below 200 mm, to get some rainstorm coverage. In addition, rainstorms available with IMD,
available in isopluvial atlas of India, IITM Pune and earlier PMP atlas prepared by WAPCOS
(1998) were adopted. A list of rainstorms selected using the above criteria has been
prepared. The updated list (Table 3-2) includes 86 rainstorms for 1-day, 43 rainstorms for 2-
day and 24 rainstorms for 3-day. The location maps of storm centres of these storms for 1-
day, 2-day and 3-day durations are shown in Figure 3-6 to Figure 3-8. Enlarged maps of
storms centres are shown in Volume II. The isohyetal patterns of all these rainstorms for 1, 2
and 3 day durations have been given in Figure 4-1 to Figure 4-153 in Volume II of this atlas.

Estimation of PMP by Physical Approach

On the basis of SPS and PMP analysis, 16 out of 84 storms have been found to be critical
(contributing to SPS and PMP computations for sub basins and grid points). These 16 critical
storms have been marked with blue color text in Table 3-2 as given below. Out of these 16
storms, three storms (June 1927, September 1959 and July 1989) have been adopted from
IMD, four storms (September 1926, July 1930, July 1941 and July 1965) have been adopted
from IITM Atlas and 3 storms (July 1930, September 1961 and August 1986) have been
adopted from previous WAPCOS study. The source of above mentioned storms has been
mentioned in title of the respective map of isohyetal pattern in Volume II. Remaining six
critical storms (August 1983, July 1988, July 1994, June 1996, July 2000 and June 2001)
have been generated on geo spatial analysis using daily-observed rainfall data in and
around study basin. Patterns of all these critical storms along with their DADs have been
reviewed in consultation with IMD before using in the SPS and PMP estimation.

the early hours of 23 July and was centered 50 km southwest of Jagdalpur. It weakened into
a deep depression in the evening of 23 July and lay close to Pusad. It then took a
northwesterly course and weakened further into a depression on 25 July over north Gujarat.
(Figure 3-16).
The depression brought heavy and continuous rainfall to the lower portion of the Godavari
River Basin for a period of 3 days. The area under the rainstorm recorded maximum 1-day
rainfall on 23 July, 2-day maximum rainfall from 23 to 24 July and 3-day maximum rainfall
from 22 to 24 July. Many stations recorded more than 250 mm of rainfall in 3 days during 22-
24 July. The isohyetal patterns show that the centre of rainstorm was located at Kodur
(16.52° N, 81.98° E), which recorded the highest rainfall of 422 mm. However, the centre of
the rainstorm for 2 and 3-day durations was located at Tiruvur (17.11° E, 80.62° N), which
recorded rainfall of 450 mm and 469 mm 2-day and 3-day respectively. The centre of this
storm is close to the coast. Hence, due care should be taken while transposing this storm or
using it in the hydro meteorological analysis.

3.2.3 DAD (DEPTH AREA DURATION) ANALYSIS OF RAINSTORMS


Rainstorm analysis considers the rainstorm as a unit of the study. In the DAD analysis of
rainstorms, the greatest depth of precipitation experienced over various areas and durations
were determined. Considering the orography of the basin, rainstorm analysis has been
confined mostly to plain areas of the basin. Preparation of isohyetal maps for selected
rainstorms is the first step in the DAD analysis. This study considers 86 rainstorms for 1-day,
43 rainstorms for 2-day and 24 rainstorms for 3-day. Out of these storms, patterns prepared
by IMD for the rainstorms of 1914-Parbhani, 1959-Telhara, and 1989-Kodur have been
adopted. The isohyetal patterns for 1926-Bichhia, 1930-Wani, 1930-Seoni, 1941-
Dharampur, 1961-Pachmarhi, 1965-Nizamsagar, 1986-Warora and storms were available
from isopluvial maps of India, IITM Pune and PMP atlas prepared by WAPCOS (1998) and
the same were adopted. These published isohyetal maps were digitized and georeferenced
in GIS software for further use. Isohyetal maps for other storms were prepared by using
geospatial techniques. Rainfall data for the duration of storms within the basin and adjoining
areas was considered in the preparation of isohyetal maps. In the next step of DAD analysis,
the area between successive isohyets was estimated by using GIS software. The average
rain depths were then estimated by applying the area-volume method. The average rain
depths were plotted against the accumulated area and smooth DAD curves were drawn. The
starting point in the curve was taken as the peak rainfall of the storm. Such curves were
drawn for considered rainstorms individually for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations. Using
DAD curves, rainfall values for standard areas such as 100; 500; 1,000; 10,000 sq. km. for
1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations for each analyzed rainstorm were estimated and are given
in Table 3-3 to Table 3-5. Isohyetal patterns of these rainstorms are shown in Volume II.
DAD curves for each storm and duration have been provided in Volume II. While using the
DAD values from the table, user may avoid linear interpolation for any intermediate area. It is
suggested to fit the equation using the DAD curve up to 10 times the required area to
estimate the required rainfall depth.

3.2.4 CALCULATION OF MOISTURE MAXIMIZATION FACTOR FOR RAINSTORMS


The purpose of moisture maximization is to determine Moisture Maximization Factor (MMF)
of a rainstorm, defined as the ratio of the maximum total moisture in an atmospheric column
of unit cross-section in the region to the total moisture in a similar column that prevailed
during the rainstorm period. Therefore, the moisture maximization of a rainstorm required the
estimation of two moisture contents– one corresponding to the highest value on record at the
location and the other one prevailing moisture during the rainstorm period. The details of
MMF are given in section 3.1.5. An example of MMF calculation from observed data for one
of the storms is given below. MMF thus obtained is applicable uniformly for all areas and
duration of the rainstorm. The rainfall depth for any specified duration and area as read from
the envelope DAD curve of area or basin, when multiplied by MMF gives in situ PMP
estimates. Table 3-7 gives the estimated MMF values for all 86 storms analyzed in this study
along with the barrier elevation (h1), rainstorm persisting dew point (d1), maximum persisting
dew point (d2) and precipitable water corresponding to d1 and d2 at h1. Out of 86 storms, dew
point temperature was not available for three storms (Sakoli-1908, Hinganghat-1913,
Pachmarhi-1913). Recommendations of the workshop on rationalization of design storm
parameters for design flood estimation (Central Water Commission, 1993) suggests that
where the dew point data is not available for base estimation of moisture maximization, a
value of 25% for inland areas and relatively lesser values of 10% for coastal areas may be
adopted. In the case of above-mentioned two storms, a maximization factor of 20% was
assumed. Dew point stations along with their elevations, used in the MMF estimation, have
been given in Table 3-6.

3.3 Estimation of PMP over different catchments of Godavari Basin


3.3.1 IDENTIFICATION OF RAINSTORMS FOR DAD ANALYSIS
Considering the topography of the catchments, catchment numbers 311, 312, 313, 314, 315,
316 and 317 have been considered in the PMP estimation by DAD method. Out of storms
listed in Table 3-2, a catchment wise matrix has been prepared for the identification of
affecting rainstorms for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations at each catchment. The storms
that are falling within the limit of ± 2-degree in plain areas have been marked as affecting
storms at each catchment. Table 3-8 gives the matrix of catchment wise affecting storms for
1-day duration (The rows indicate the storm details, columns indicate the catchment no. and
highlighted colour shows the storm-affected catchments. Orange colour shows that the
storm is affecting the catchment while the Blue colour shows that the storm is contributing in
the envelope curve for the catchment). Similarly, matrixes for 2-day and 3-day storms are
shown in Table 3-9 and Table 3-10 respectively.

3.3.2 RAINSTORMS CONTRIBUTING TO DAD ENVELOPE CURVES OF CATCHMENTS


After preparing the matrix of 1-day, 2-day and 3-day storms affecting the various
catchments, a DAD envelope curve for each catchment was prepared for 1-day, 2-day and
3-day durations. While deciding the storms that can contribute to the DAD envelope curve of
each catchment, limits of transposition as described in section 3.1.7 were followed.
Catchment and area wise contributing storms to the DAD enveloping curves for 1-day, 2-day
and 3-day durations are given in Table 3-11 to Table 3-13.

CATCHMENT NO. 311
Considering the orography and location of the catchment, rainstorms that can affect this
catchment have been analyzed using the DAD method. Out of the storms listed in Table 3-2,
storms for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations that are transposable (linear transposition within
the limit of ± 2 degree in flat region) to the catchment have been listed in Table 3-8 to Table
3-10 respectively. Table 3-14 shows a list of rainstorms, which affected the Catchment-311.

Using the listed storms, envelope curves for the basin were derived for 1-day, 2-day and 3-
day durations. The storms contributing to the envelope curves of the catchment have been
listed in Table 3-11 to Table 3-13 for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations respectively.
Envelope DAD curves for the catchment for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations are shown in
Figure 3-19 to Figure 3-21.
The insitu Standard Project Storm (SPS) were read from corresponding DAD envelope
curves of the basin for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations separately. These SPS (insitu)
values were multiplied with the MMF to obtain insitu PMP values. SPS (insitu), contributing
storm, MMF and PMP (insitu) for 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day durations for different areas for the
catchment are given in Table 3-15.

Using the listed storms, envelope curves for the basin were derived for 1-day, 2-day and 3-
day durations. The storms contributing to the envelope curves of the catchment have been
listed in Table 3-11 to Table 3-13 for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations respectively.
Envelope DAD curves for the catchment for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations are shown in
Figure 3-22 to Figure 3-24.
The insitu Standard Project Storm (SPS) were read from corresponding DAD envelope
curves of the basin for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations separately. These SPS (insitu)
values were multiplied with the MMF to obtain insitu PMP values. SPS (insitu), contributing
storm, MMF and PMP (insitu) for 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day durations for different areas for the
catchment are given in Table 3-17.

Using the listed storms, envelope curves for the basin were derived for 1-day, 2-day and 3-
day durations. The storms contributing to the envelope curves of the catchment have been
listed in Table 3-11 to Table 3-13 for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations respectively.
Envelope DAD curves for the catchment for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations are shown in
Figure 3-25 to Figure 3-27.
The insitu Standard Project Storm (SPS) were read from corresponding DAD envelope
curves of the basin for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations separately. These SPS (insitu)
values were multiplied with the MMF to obtain insitu PMP values. SPS (insitu), contributing
storm, MMF and PMP (insitu) for 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day durations for different areas for the
catchment are given in Table 3-19.

Using the listed storms, envelope curves for the basin were derived for 1-day, 2-day and 3-
day durations. The storms contributing to the envelope curves of the catchment have been
listed in Table 3-11 to Table 3-13 for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations respectively.
Envelope DAD curves for the catchment for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations are shown in
Figure 3-34 to Figure 3-36.
The insitu Standard Project Storm (SPS) were read from corresponding DAD envelope
curves of the basin for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations separately. These SPS (insitu)
values were multiplied with the MMF to obtain insitu PMP values. SPS (insitu), contributing
storm, MMF and PMP (insitu) for 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day durations for different areas for the
catchment are given in Table 3-25.

3.5 Computation of PMP at Grid Points


Areal PMP values are estimated for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations for standard areas of
100; 200; 500; 1,000; 1,500; 2,000; 3,000; 4,000; 5,000; 7,500; 10,000; and 20,000 sq. km.
centered at fixed locations (i.e. the point of intersection in a 1° latitude X 1° longitude grid
network termed as grid points) for the 7 catchments of the Godavari River Basin. A
systematic approach to achieve the desired areal PMP estimates involved the following
steps:
3.5.1 GRID POINT LOCATIONS
Grid points were constructed for areal PMP estimation at fixed locations. The grid point
locations in each of the seven catchments were assigned alphanumeric codes as given in
Table 3-29. The alphabetic part of the code UGD stands for Upper Godavari, MNJ for
Manjra, MGD for Middle Godavari, WRD for Wardha, WNG for Wainganga, INV for Indravati,
and LGD for Lower Godavari. The Location map of grid points for the Godavari River Basin
is shown in Figure 3-40.

3.5.2 IDENTIFICATIONS OF RAINSTORMS
Out of the storms listed in Table 3-2, a grid point wise matrix was prepared for identification
of affecting rainstorms for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations at each location. The storms that
fell within the limit of ± 2-degree were marked as affecting storms at each location. Table 3-
30 gives the matrix of grid wise affecting storms for 1-day duration (The rows indicate the
storm details, columns indicate the grid ID and highlighted color shows the storm affecting
particular grids). Similarly, the matrixes for 2-day and 3-day storms are shown in Table 3-31
and Table 3-32 respectively.

3.5.3 ESTIMATION OF MAF


The MAF values are estimated for all storms at grid points as given in the example below.
These MAF values were used in the estimation of PMP at grid points. Computation of MAF
factors for the major contributing rainstorms are given in Table 8-4 of Volume II.
Example: Calculation of MAF for rainstorm of June 1996 at Koida for Grid Point INV-2
(19°N, 82°E) in Indravati basin
1. The MAF is estimated as MAF=MMF X LAF X BAF
2. As given in the detailed example in section 3.2.4 the MMF for this storm is 1.23
3. The LAF is computed by
LAF = (W 3)h1 /(W 2)h1

(W 3)h1 and (W 2)h1 are values of precipitable water (mm) read from Table 8-1 given in Volume
II corresponding to d3 and d2 at h1.
h1 = 100 m
Maximum Persisting Dew Point (d2) at the rain storm centre in the second fortnight of June
as read from Figure 1-19 in Volume II.
d2 = 27.8 °C

Maximum Persisting Dew Point (d3) at the transposed location in the second fortnight of
June as read from Figure 1-19 in Volume II.
d3 = 28.4 °C
LAF = (W 3)h1 /(W 2)h1
= 105.4/100.1
= 1.05
4. The BAF is computed by

BAF = (W 3)h2 /(W 3)h1


(W 3)h2 and (W 3)h1 are values of precipitable water (mm) read from Table 8-1 given in Volume
II, corresponding to d3 at h2 and h1 respectively.
h1 = 100 m
Since there is no major barrier between the storm centre and the transposed location,
h2=600 m
BAF = (W 3)h2 / (W 3)h1
= 95.1/105.4
= 0.90
5. As given in (1) the MAF for this storm at INV-2 is computed as = 1.23 X 1.05 X 0.90
= 1.17

3.5.4 RAINSTORMS CONTRIBUTING TO DAD ENVELOPE CURVES OF GRID POINTS


After preparing the matrixes of 1-day, 2-day and 3-day storms affecting the various grid
points, a DAD envelope curve for each grid point was prepared for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day
durations separately. While deciding the storms that can contribute to the DAD envelope
curve of each grid point, limits of transposition as described in section 3.1.7 were followed.
Grid point wise and area wise contributing storms for 1, 2 and 3-day durations are given in
Table 3-33 to Table 3-35.

3.5.5 ESTIMATES OF AREAL PMP AT GRID POINTS


From the DAD envelope curves of each grid point and duration (1-day, 2-day and 3-day),
Grid Rain Depth values were read at standard areas. These areas include 100; 200; 500;
1,000; 1,500; 2,000; 3,000; 4,000; 5,000; 7,500; 10,000; and 20,000 sq. km. Grid Rain Depth
values for different areas were multiplied by the corresponding values of TAF to obtain 1-
day, 2-day and 3-day areal SPS values at various grid points corresponding to specified
areas. The SPS values were further multiplied by the MMF to obtain the PMP values at
each grid point for standard areas and durations. For 1-day duration, area wise grid rain
depths, contributing storms, TAF, SPS, MMF and PMP estimates at various grid points is
given in Table 3-36. Similarly Table 3-37 and Table 3-38 gives the details of grid PMP
estimates for 2-day and 3-day durations. PMP maps for the 1-day duration for 100; 500; and
1,000 sq. km. areas are given in Volume II (Figure 5-2 to Figure 5-6) along with the 2-day
and 3-day duration PMP maps for 1,000 sq. km. area.

3.5.6 SPECIAL GRID POINT FOR HIGH RAINFALL AREAS OF UPPER GODAVARI
From Figure 1-7 in Volume II, it can be clearly seen that areas near the ridge line of the
Upper Godavari catchment (area near around Igatpuri on the ridge of Western Ghats)
experience heavy rainfall as compared to its surrounding areas. These surrounding areas
are characterized by rain shadow areas on the leeward side across the ridgeline.
In order to reflect these high rainfall characteristics, an additional grid point (Figure 3-41)
was added at location 73.5° E and 19.5° N about 20 km west of the ridge on the windward
side and the severe storms occurring on the west coast were transposed here.
To estimate PMP value at this location, severe rainstorms of West Coast were considered.
Out of these, rainstorm of Dharampur-1941 is found to be the most critical. This rainstorm
should not be moved in east to west direction towards the Godavari Basin, but it can be
moved in north-south direction. The distance between this grid point and the rainstorm
centre is around 120 km. So, the 1941 storm was transposed to this particular grid point. The
TAF and MMF for the 1941 storm at this particular grid point is 1.02 and 1.21 respectively.
The estimated 1, 2 and 3-day PMP estimates at the grid point are given in Table 3-39.

3.6 Time distribution analysis


The PMP estimates have been calculated for the durations of 1-day, 2-day and 3-day that
are for 24-hr intervals. It is known that one of the most important factors affecting the peak
flood discharge is the variability of rainfall in time. If rainfall has occurred uniformly over a
period of say 24-hr, the value of the peak flood discharge will be much less than if the same
rain occurs during 2 or 3 hours of 24-hour period. Therefore, to compute flood runoff, it
becomes necessary to know what proportion of 24-hr rain usually fell in the heaviest 2-hr, in
the heaviest 3-hr and so forth. It is also necessary to know whether this proportion varies
with the magnitude of 24-hr rainfall. In fact, the 1-day, 2-day and 3-day PMP rainfalls need to
be split into PMP rainfalls of short durations of say 2, 3, 4 hours called unit time intervals.
The short duration storm rainfall values can be determined by applying the Time
Distributions (TD) of rainfall obtained from the analysis of hourly rainfall data of some known
major storms in the catchments under study. For an individual storm, the time distribution of
rainfall is generally presented as a mass curve that shows the accumulated depth as a
function of time. This section gives the estimates of average time distributions for range of

storm durations in seven catchments of Godavari basin using hourly rainfall data from SRRG
stations.
SRRG station rainfall data, as described in section 2.5.2, has been used in the TD analysis.
Based on data availability, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hour TD analysis was carried out. Rain spells
having 24-hour total rainfall of 60 mm or more were considered in the analysis. Similarly,
rainspells having 12-hour, 48-hour, and 72-hour total rainfall values of 40 mm, 80 mm, and
100 mm or more have been used. An hourly rainfall data of each station in a particular
catchment were first arranged in a chronological order. After this, the maximum hourly
rainfall totals for each hour in considered durations (12, 24, 48, and 72 hours) were
computed. The averages of hourly rainfalls were then obtained from number of stations in
the respective catchment. These average values were further expressed as a percentage of
total storm rainfall amount for duration considered (12, 24, 48, and 72 hours). Finally,
percent values were adjusted to derive a smoothened TD curve for each catchment and
duration considered (12, 24, 48, and 72 hours).
As described above the TD analysis was performed for 12-hour duration. Table 3-40
presents the catchment and station wise list of rain spells used in the analysis. The
smoothened time distribution coefficients for entire Godavari basin and various catchments
have been given in Table 3-41. The relevant smoothened TD curves are shown in Figure 3-
42 to Figure 3-49. The hourly rainfall distribution for each of the considered rainspells,
average rainfall distribution and average TD coefficients for various catchments are given in
Table 5-1 to Table 5-7 in Annexure (at the end of this report).
For 24-hour duration, Table 3-42 presents the catchment and station wise list of rain spells
used in the analysis. The smoothened time distribution coefficients for entire Godavari basin
and various catchments have been given in Table 3-43. This table also gives the TD
coefficients for rainspells less than 250 mm and more than 250 mm at entire Godavari basin
level. The relevant smoothened TD curves are shown in Figure 3-50 to Figure 3-59. The
hourly rainfall distribution for each of the considered rainspells, average rainfall distribution
and average TD coefficients for various catchments are given in Table 5-8 to Table 5-15 in
Annexure (at the end of this report).
As described above the TD analysis was performed for 48-hour duration. Table 3-44
presents the catchment and station wise list of rain spells used in the analysis. The
smoothened time distribution coefficients for entire Godavari basin and various catchments
have been given in Table 3-45. The relevant smoothened TD curves are shown in Figure 3-
60 to Figure 3-67. The hourly rainfall distribution for each of the considered rainspells,
average rainfall distribution and average TD coefficients for various catchments are given in
Table 5-16 to Table 5-22 in Annexure (at the end of this report).
For 72-hour duration, Table 3-46 presents the catchment and station wise list of rain spells
used in the analysis. The smoothened time distribution coefficients for entire Godavari basin
and various catchments have been given in Table 3-47. The relevant smoothened TD curves

3.7 Clock hour correction


Rainfall observations in India for different stations are taken daily for fixed time at 8.30 AM.
As such, rainfall of a particular day is the total amount of rainfall in mm from 8.30 in the
morning of the previous day to 8.30 morning of date. It should be noted that rainfall at any
station is unlikely to commence at exactly the time of the daily reading. For example, the
rainfall may commence at 11 am and continue till 11 am of the next day. This rainfall
amount, therefore, gets divided into two parts. First between 11 AM to 08:30 AM and the
second between 08:30 AM of next day to 11 AM. It is thus obvious that 1 day observed
rainfall could be appreciably less than that of 24 hours rainfall measured between 11 am to
11 am unrestricted by any particular observation time. Similarly, the 2-day and 3-day rainfalls
obtained from daily rainfalls at fixed time would be less than 48 and 72 hour rainfalls. The
design rainfalls to be used in the unit hydrograph or other method of estimating the design
floods should, however, be for durations not fixed by observation times. It has, therefore,
been necessary to use the design rainfalls for 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours periods.
Empirical multiplication factors for the conversion of 1-day, 2-day and 3-day rainfalls to 24,
48 and 72 hours are determined by several researchers using continuously recorded rainfall
data from the self-recording rain gauges (SRRG). Harihara Ayyar and Tripathi (1973), using
SRRG data from 67 stations in India, have determined the average ratio of 24-hour rainfall to
1-day rainfall (which is termed as clock hour correction factor) to be of the order of 1.15. On
the basis of this study, IMD has recommended for the entire Indian region a ratio of 1.15 to
convert 1-day rainfall to 24-hour rainfall. Due to unavailability of comprehensive storm data,
this factor could not be estimated in the current study. Hence, a ratio of 1.15 recommended
by IMD for entire Indian region is suggested to convert 1-day rainfall to 24-hour rainfall.
Further, Table 5-30 in Annexure (at the end of this report) gives the 1-day rainfall and 24-
hour rainfall for some of the stations and selected rainspells.

3.8 Area reduction factor


The Area Reduction Factors (ARF) are used to reduce the point rainfall values to average
areal rain depths over the different areas of the catchment. ARFs have been derived using
DAD statistics of analyzed rainstorms for various catchments of the Godavari Basin. A ratio
was calculated between the areal raindepth over different areas from 25 to 10,000 sq. km
and the raindepth at the centre of storm. The ARFs have been estimated for 1-day, 2-day
and 3-day durations. Curves were then constructed by plotting area reduction factors against
area in sq. km. for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations at a catchment level. As suggested by
CWC and IMD three different types ARFs have been estimated in this study. These include
1) selected ARF, 2) envelope ARF, and 3) average ARF. The selected ARF is average of
ratios estimated from severe storms (storms having a ratio more than 0.65 at 10,000 sq.km.)
in the catchment. The envelope ARF is maximum value of ratio for corresponding area using
all storms in the catchment. The average ARF is average value of ratio for corresponding
area using all storms in the catchment. For example, a catchment has total 25 storms, out of
which 7 are severe storms (storms having a ratio more than 0.65 at 10,000 sq.km.). The
envelope and average ARFs are estimated using ratios of all 25 storms. The selected ARF is
estimated using average of 7 severe storms. For seven catchments of the basin, all three
types of ARF curves for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations are shown in Figure 3-76 to Figure
3-96. Table 3-48 gives the catchment wise list of rainstorms used in the estimation of
selected area reduction factors. The selected area reduction factors for the 1-day, 2-day and
3-day durations, for the various catchments are given in Table 3-49 to Table 3-51.
Additionally, envelope and average ARFs for the 1-day, 2-day and 3-day durations, for the
various catchments are given in Table 5-31 to Table 5-36 in Annexure (at the end of this
report).

3.9 Practical example


3.9.1 USE OF GRID PMP
The readymade statistics of areal PMP by the physical method presented in the above
section are ideally suited only for projects on medium size river basins with a drainage area
matching with one of the standard areas adopted in the atlas with further restriction that the
project basin should have one of the grid points close to its centre. In this case, we need to
pick up a suitable areal PMP value from one of the tables presented above. Such an ideal
condition can rarely exist. The data presented in this atlas has to be used appropriately for
their correct application. A practical example of using grid PMP estimates is given below:
Problem: To obtain an estimate of one day areal PMP for a project (having an area of 4,205
sq. km) on a tributary of river Wardha

Figure 3-97: Location map of problem catchment

Solution: To arrive at the 1-day PMP estimate for the given project site using PMP values
obtained for nearest grid points, following steps are required. Figure 3-97 shows the location
of the Upper Wardha project site and neighbouring 1-degree grid points in the Godavari and
Narmada Basins.
None of the standard grid points as indicated above lie near the centre of the project basin.
The drainage area of the project basin is 4,205 sq. km, which also does not match the
standard area projected in the atlas. In such cases, the estimation of PMP value can be
done by following method:
The PMP values at the 4 grid points identified above corresponding to 4,000 sq. km., 5,000
sq. km. and the interpolated value for 4,205 sq. km. are as given below:

PMP for 5,000 sq.km 456 476 428 444

Interpolated PMP for 4,205 sq.km 466 486 437 452

Average of the areal one day PMP for 4,205 sq. km. = (466+486+437+452)/4
= 460 mm
3.9.2 USE OF TRANSPOSITION TECHNIQUE
Problem: To obtain an estimate of 24 hour PMP at Upper and Lower Wardha (Intercepting
Catchments) and Upper Kolab (Free Catchment) Project Sites by the Storm Transposition
Technique as given in Figure 3-98.

Figure 3-98: Locations of Upper Wardha, Lower Wardha, and Upper Kolab projects

Statistical Estimates of PMP and Design Rainfalls for Different Return Periods

4 Statistical Estimates of PMP and Design Rainfalls for


Different Return Periods
4.1 Statistical estimates of PMP
4.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The physical method of estimating the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) based on a
hydro-meteorological procedure described in the previous chapter sometimes becomes
difficult to apply where meteorological data such as wind, moisture and surface dew point
temperature etc. are not available. Alternately, a statistical procedure for PMP estimation is
possible from the frequency analysis of the series of annual maximum rainfall data for
different durations observed at rainfall stations located in the catchment area. In order to
estimate PMP for stations or small areas, a simplified statistical method has been developed
by Hershfield (1961, 1965) based on a general frequency formula for analysis of hydrological
data proposed by Chow (1951). The Hershfield method enjoys the greatest acceptability
worldwide for the determination of the PMP. Moreover, WMO (1969, 1970, 1986 and 2009)
has suggested this method for estimating PMP for stations whose daily rainfall data are
available for a long period of time but where meteorological data are lacking. In this chapter,
the Hershfield statistical method has been used to estimate PMP values for 1, 2 and 3-day
durations for stations in the Godavari River Basin whose daily rainfall data are available for a
long period of time.
4.1.2 HERSHFIELD STATISTICAL METHOD
The Hershfield (1961) statistical method of estimating PMP and later modified by Hershfield
(1965) is based on the general frequency formula of Chow (1951). Chow (1951) has shown
that most frequency functions for hydrologic analysis can be generalized to

(4.1)
Where, Xt is the rainfall depth for the return period t, and σn respectively are the average
and standard deviation of the series of n annual maximum rainfalls and K is a variable
frequency factor dependent on the probability distribution that fits the extreme value series.
Hershfield (1961) considered that for the PMP estimation there is a value of K which will not
be exceeded say Km and the used eqn. (4.1) in the following form:

(4.2)
Where:
Xpmp = is the PMP rainfall for a given station for a given duration,
= the average of the series of n annual maximum rainfalls for a given station for a given
duration,
σn = the standard deviation of the series of n annual maximum rainfalls for a given
duration,
Km = the frequency factor which is the largest of all the calculated Km values for all stations
in a given area.
The value of factor Km for a station is calculated using the following equation.

(4.3)

Where:
Xmax = is the highest recorded value from the series of n annual maximum rainfalls,

PMP Atlas for Godavari River Basin Page 225 of 272


Statistical Estimates of PMP and Design Rainfalls for Different Return Periods

= the average value of n-1 annual maximum rainfalls excluding the highest value of
Xmax and
σn-1 = the standard deviation of n-1 annual maximum rainfalls excluding the highest value of
Xmax
Hershfield (1961) used 1-day rainfall data from about 2,700 stations in many countries and
found that K values as calculated from eqn. 4.3 ranged from less than 3 to a highest value of
15. Hershfield used the highest value of 15 to estimate PMP for 1 day duration for different
stations in the world by adopting the formula:

(4.4)
Several investigators questioned the universal applicability of Km = 15 for the calculation of
the PMP because of the fact that unusually high values of PMP were obtained on using the
highest value of 15. Hershfield (1965) himself found that use of the common value of Km =
15 was not appropriate because on representing graphically Km as a function of for
various durations (5 min, 1, 6,12 hours) and the wrapping of the frequency factors as shown
in Figure 4-1, he noted that as the average of the series ( ) increased in magnitude, K Km
values had a tendency to decrease. Thus, each station has its own Km value depending
upon its magnitude of . Subsequently, Hershfield (1965) used the enveloping Km curve
for obtaining Km values for different values of .

Figure 4-1: Km as a function of rainfall duration and mean annual series (after Hershfield)
The above mentioned statistical estimation procedure of the PMP can be used where
sufficient rainfall data is available and in particular to make rapid estimates or where other
meteorological data (dew point, wind records etc.) are missing.
4.1.3 RAINFALL DATA USED
Daily rainfall data of 343 rainfall stations distributed over different catchments of the
Godavari River Basin were used (see Table 4-1). The names of the stations and their length
of record are listed in Table 1-1 in Volume II and their geographical locations are shown in
Figure 2-2. Data required for the PMP estimation is the series comprising of annual
maximum rainfalls for a given duration at an observing rainfall station. This consists of a
sequence of rainfalls formed by selecting the highest of the 365 daily rainfall values for a

PMP Atlas for Godavari River Basin Page 226 of 272


Statistical Estimates of PMP and Design Rainfalls for Different Return Periods

given duration for each year of record. Thus for n years of data the annual maximum series
will consist of n rainfall values. As such, the annual maximum rainfall values for 1, 2 and 3-
day durations for each year were selected for all stations and arrays of annual maximum
values of rainfall were formed for these three durations for each station to estimate PMP for
1 to 3-day durations following the method discussed in section 4.2.
Table 4-1: Number of rainfall stations considered in each catchment of Godavari River Basin
Catchment No. Area (sq. km.) No. of stations Density (sq. km./Station)
311 54,790 53 1034
312 32,000 51 628
313 41,616 66 631
314 47,989 36 1333
315 51,833 60 864
316 41,082 16 2568
317 43,502 61 713

4.1.4 HOMOGENEITY OF THE DATA SERIES


The use of long series in the estimation of PMP is only useful if they show no long-term
changes in their behaviour. As such, the annual maximum rainfall series of 1, 2 and 3-day
durations in respect of 343 stations were tested for such in homogeneities by applying the
Mann Kendal rank test (WMO, 1966). We note a few stations indicated in homogeneities
over the period of record at the 5% level of significance.
4.1.5 STATISTICAL ESTIMATES OF PMP VALUES FOR 1, 2 AND 3-DAY DURATIONS
The data of yearly observed maximum rainfall series for durations of 1, 2 and 3 days for 343
stations in the Godavari River Basin were analyzed to obtain estimates of PMP. For this
purpose, the values of , , σn, σn-1 and the coefficients of variation (CV) were
calculated for each annual maximum rainfall series for each station by conventional
procedures. The frequency factor (Km) for each of the durations and for each station was
determined by using eqn. 4.3. The frequency distribution of Km values for 1, 2 and 3-day
durations for the 343 stations in the Godavari River Basin are given in Table 4-2. The
highest values of Km were found to be 10.5, 11.0 and 11.2 for 1, 2 and 3-day respectively.
Table 4-2: Frequency distribution of Km values for 1 to 3-day durations

Km Range 1-Day 2-Day 3-Day

5.1 - 6.0 2 3 3

6.1 - 7.0 8 7 5

7.1 - 8.0 64 53 52

8.1 - 9.0 171 126 107

9.1 - 10.0 93 123 129

10.1 - 11.0 5 30 42

11.1 - 12.0 - 1 5

Km Max 10.5 11.0 11.2

4.1.5.1 Development of Km Envelope Curves


The values of Km obtained for all the stations for 1 to 3-day durations showed no
geographical pattern but when plotted against the mean of the annual maximum series ( )
they showed a decrease in Km with increase in . Thus each station has its own Km value
depending upon its magnitude of . It was, therefore, considered that an appropriate
enveloping Km curve based upon the values of stations in the Godavari River Basin would

Statistical Estimates of PMP and Design Rainfalls for Different Return Periods

give realistic estimates of PMP for different durations. As such, appropriate enveloping Km
curves showing the relationship between Km and the average annual maximum rainfalls for
1, 2, and 3 days durations were determined.
The values of Km for all the stations in the Godavari River Basin were plotted separately
against for 1, 2 and 3-day durations. The enveloping curves were then drawn with the
help of the upper most points, which are shown in Figures 4-2 to 4-4. These enveloping
curves were used to obtain Km values corresponding to the average of annual maximum
rainfall series ( ) for 1, 2 and 3-day durations for PMP computations for different stations to
compute the PMP values.

4.1.5.2 Derivation of Point PMP from Envelope Curves


Using the average ( ), standard deviation (σn) and Km values from the enveloping curves
(Figures 4-2 to 4-4) the PMP values for 1, 2 and 3-day durations at each of the 343 stations
were computed by utilizing the eqn. (4.2). The estimated PMP for 1, 2 and 3 days durations
for 314 stations (after removing duplicate stations) located in the Godavari River Basin are
tabulated in Table 4-3.

To see the extent of variations in the magnitudes of point PMP values with reference to the
highest observed rainfalls recorded at the station, a summary table (Table 4-4) has been
prepared. This table gives the minimum, maximum and average values of highest observed
rainfall (Pmax), point PMP estimate and ratio of PMP/Pmax for various catchments and
durations. To elaborate more, if a catchment has 25 stations, the point PMP and highest
rainfall are tabulated for each station and minimum, maximum and average values are
picked for a catchment from 25 stations. A ratio (PMP/Pmax) is estimated for each station
individually. The minimum, maximum and average values of PMP/Pmax from 25 individual
stations are picked up for deriving catchment summary.

4.1.5.3 Preparation of Generalized Point PMP Maps

In order to make available these PMP estimates for the use of design engineers, generalized
point PMP maps for 1, 2 and 3-day durations have been prepared. The purpose of these
maps is to eliminate the amount of subjectivity in PMP estimation so that uniform practices
and consistent results can be achieved. The PMP estimates for 1, 2 and 3-day durations for
all stations were first plotted on separate base maps of the Godavari River Basin. Isopleths
of suitable intervals were then drawn taking into account the topography of the basin. Before
drawing the isopleths of PMP, the CV values for all stations were plotted on separate base
maps for 1, 2 and 3-day durations to see whether the CV value for a station was abnormally
different from nearby stations. This is required for smoothing the inherent errors indicated by
large standard deviations. As an example, if in a certain area, the CV values of different
stations were of the order of say 40 to 45 % while an odd station in the area has its CV value
of 60% then its CV value was adjusted to 45 %. Using this revised value of CV the standard
deviation (σn) was recalculated using the original value of for that station. The revised σn
value was then used to re-compute PMP estimates for those stations whose σn values were
adjusted. The resulting maps for 1 to 3-day durations are shown in Volume II (Figure 6-31 to
Figure 6-33).

4.1.5.4 Use of the Point PMP Maps

The generalized maps of point PMP are useful for obtaining PMP values for durations of 1 to
3 days at any location in the Godavari River Basin without undertaking detailed statistical
analysis of rainfall data. The point estimates can be converted to areal PMP estimates by
using areal reduction factors. Two methods, as described below, may be used to obtain
areal average PMP for any catchment area.

- Calculate the average PMP value over the catchment area and then apply areal
reduction factors: or
- Use the highest PMP in the catchment and then apply the areal reduction factors.

Statistical Estimates of PMP and Design Rainfalls for Different Return Periods

4.2 Return Period Analysis – Godavari Basin


As a part of the project assignment, this section is devoted to determine the point maximum
rainfalls that recur on the average once in 2.33; 5; 25; 50; 100; 500; 1,000; 5,000 and 10,000
years at each of the 315 stations in the Godavari Basin. The values may serve as a guide in
hydrologic design projects in the river basin.
4.2.1 DATA SERIES FOR RAINFALL RETURN PERIOD ANALYSIS
In design problems, usually extreme values are used in frequency analysis. This is based
on the philosophy that if the designed structure can withstand the highest value in a year, it
can withstand all other values. Two types of data are generally selected: (1) the annual
maximum series and (2) the partial duration series.
The highest observed value (daily rainfall) at any rainfall station during a year is called the
annual maximum value. The annual maximum series, therefore, consists of only one highest
value for each year of record. Thus, for N years of data an annual maximum series will
consist of N values, one for each year.
The annual maximum series ignores the second and third highest values of a year, which
may be higher than the maximum of other years in the series. This type of situation is
overcome by selecting all the values above an arbitrary threshold value. The series obtained
in this manner is known as a partial duration series. Therefore, a partial duration series
contains the largest values greater than a base value. The lowest value is generally chosen
as a base value in the annual maximum series. In a complete partial duration series, if the
lowest values are truncated so that the number of values in the series is equal to the number
of years of record then this truncated series is called the annual exceedance series.
Both these types of series are used in frequency analysis. It is important to mention that if
the time interval between the two values is less than a year, the seasonal variation may
introduce inhomogeneities in the data series. However, if the data are selected only from a
particular season or month, the homogeneity may largely be maintained. Since the partial
series is not a true series, the values selected may not be independent of each other and as
a result such a series cannot be considered completely homogeneous and independent.
Nevertheless, the use of both types of selected data for frequency analysis gives almost
similar estimates for return periods of more than 10 years. The difference is significant in the
lower return period values Langbein (1949).
Empirical factors have been determined for the Indian region to enable the conversion of
values of an annual series to those of a partial series. The factors for conversing 2, 5 and
10-year annual values to those of partial series are 1.13, 1.04 and 1.02 respectively. For
example, if 2, 5 and 10-year annual values are 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 respectively; then 2, 5 and
10-year values based on partial series are: 5 x 1.13 = 5.65, 6.0 x 1.04 = 6.24 and 7.0 x 1.02
= 7.14.
4.2.2 DEFINITIONS AND FREQUENCY ANALYSIS
The main objective of frequency analysis of a variable (X), say rainfall, is to estimate the
recurrence interval or return period (T) of a given magnitude x of a variable (X), that is, how
often does the given magnitude x of the variable occur? The average interval of time within
which the value x of variable X will be equaled or exceeded once is called the recurrence
interval or return period. The return period is a measure of the probable time interval
between the occurrence of a given event and that of an equal or greater event. If the basic
data are truly representative, then, for example, a rainfall having a return period of 100 years
will be equaled or exceeded, on an average, once in 100 years over a great length of time.
Thus, if we have 10,000 years of record, there will be 100 such values.

PMP Atlas for Godavari River Basin Page 236 of 272


Statistical Estimates of PMP and Design Rainfalls for Different Return Periods

If a hydro meteorological variable (X) equal to or greater than x occurs on the average once
in T years, then the probability of occurrence P(X ≥ x) of such a variable is
1
P ( X  x)  (4.4)
T
1
T (4.5)
P ( X  x)
The probability that x will not occur is
P ( X  x)  1  P ( X  x ) (4.6)

1
P ( X  x) 1  (4.7)
T
1
T (4.8)
1  P ( X  x)
The concept of a return period does not imply that an event of a determined value occurs at
regular intervals of T years or that having occurred once, it will not occur again for the next T
years. It means that when calculated over a long period of record the probable mean interval
between two events of the determined magnitude is equal to the return period T. For
example, a rainfall value of the 30-year return period over a long period of record, say 600
years, will occur 20 times or in any one year there is a 3.3 percent chance that a rainfall of
this value will occur P = 1/T= 1/30= 3.3%. Furthermore, it says nothing as to by what amount
and how many times can this rainfall value be exceeded during a period of 30 years?
The standard method for estimation of rainfalls for different return periods is to fit a
theoretical frequency distribution to the annual maximum rainfall data series and estimate
parameters by the statistical methods. The choice of an appropriate distribution is often
difficult because of the many distributions in use. Of the many existing theoretical
distributions amongst these include, lognormal, Gumbel, log Gumbel, Pearson type III, log
Pearson type III, Weibull, GEV and so on. Huff and Neill (1959) compared several frequency
distributions for the determination of rainfall frequency relations using rainfall data of stations
in Illinois in the USA and found that none of the distributions had any marked superiority over
the other. Therefore, the questions of better fit among these several distributions is always
an alternative one and many studies with this theme have been reported. Hershfield and
Kohlar (1960) and Reich (1963) after comparing several distributions concluded that the
Gumbel extreme value distribution fits the data reasonably well. As such the fitting of
Gumbel extreme value distribution has been used to determine the point maximum rainfall
for different return periods.
The fitted distribution can be used not only to interpolate, but also to extrapolate; that is to
find return periods of maximum rainfalls that were not apparent during the relative short
periods of records.

4.2.3 GUMBEL’S EXTREME VALUE (EV1) DISTRIBUTION


According to Gumbel (1958), the cumulative probability that any extreme value of a variable
X will be equal to or less than x for Gumbel distribution is given by:

Statistical Estimates of PMP and Design Rainfalls for Different Return Periods

,

Then, x  u  y . Parameters  and u are evaluated by the method of moments as:

1 6
   0.78 (4.10)
 
c
ux (4.11)

c = Euler’s constant = 0.58. Therefore,
u  x  0.45

x  x  0.45  0.78 . y

By definition,

x and  are the mean and the SD of a given series of data and then parameters  (scale
parameter) and u( location parameter) can be obtained. Thus, for any value of X, T can be
calculated. The fitted distribution can be used not only to interpolate but also extrapolate i.e.,
to find return periods of extreme values that were not apparent during the relatively short
periods of records.
4.2.4 ESTIMATION OF PARAMETERS BY L-MOMENTS
L-Moments are based on probability-weighted moments (PWMs), however provide a greater
degree of accuracy and ease. L-Moments are a modification of the PWMs, as they use the
PWMs to calculate parameters that are easier to interpret and that can be used in the
calculation of parameters for statistical distributions. L-Moments are based on linear
combinations of data. They provide an advantage, as they are easy to work with, and more
reliable as they are less sensitive to outliers. The method of L-Moments calculates more
accurate parameters than the Method of Moments (MoM) technique (Kochanek, 2010). The
MoM techniques only apply to a limited range of parameters, whereas L-Moments can be
more widely used, and are nearly unbiased (Rowinski, 2001). The four L-Moments (λ1, λ2,
λ3, λ4) are derived using the four PWMs.

Where M100, M110, M120, and M130 are the four probability-weighted moments, which are
defined as
(4.19)

(4.20)

(4.21)

(4.22)

in which N is the sample size, Q is the data value, and i is the rank of the value in ascending
order. After Estimating the 4 L- Moments ((λ1, λ2, λ3, λ4), the Gumbel parameters α (scale
parameter) and u (location parameter) can be obtained as
λ
(4.23)

(4.24)
in which c=0.58 (Euler’s Constant). In addition to above four movements, L-CV, L-Skewness
and L-Kurtosis are used for the distribution fitting.
L-CV is similar to the normal coefficient of variation (CV). The larger the CV value, the larger
the variation of the data set from the mean. For example, in arid regions that receive few
storm events, the variation will be large, as one storm will deviate greatly from the low mean.

(4.25)

L-Skewness is a measure of the lack of symmetry in a distribution. If the value is negative,


the left tail is long compared with the right tail, and if the value is positive, the right tail is
longer. For GEV frequency analysis, a positive L-Skewness value is desired, as we are
interested in the extreme events that occur in the right side tail of the distribution.

(4.26)

L-Kurtosis is difficult to interpret, however is often described as the measure of “peakedness”


of the distribution (Hosking, 1997). L-kurtosis is much less biased than ordinary kurtosis.

(4.27)

4.2.5 ESTIMATION OF PARAMETERS BY LEAST SQUARES


The Gumbel method provides a straight-line fit in the x and y plane. It has been pointed out
by several researchers that estimating the Gumbel distribution parameters by the method of
moments may sometimes not be satisfactory. It has also been found that the method of
moments does not give as good a fit as does the method of least squares. The use of the
least square method was, therefore, recommended by Chow (1953). One can write:
x  A  By (4.28)
Where, A and B are parameters which are given by the least square method as:

T
y  log e [log e ] (4.29)
T 1

 x  B y (4.30)

 xy  n xy
B (4.31)

The value of T can be obtained by the use of a plotting position formula. For the Gumbel
model, the Weibull formula is most appropriate.
4.2.6 95 % CONFIDENCE INTERVAL FOR DIFFERENT RETURN PERIOD VALUES BASED ON
GUMBEL DISTRIBUTION
The return periods calculated by the Gumbel method are subject to statistical error because
the estimation is made on the basis of a limited data series. Therefore, there is a change that
the estimated value will be too high or too low. It is necessary to calculate confidence limits
between which the estimated value can be said to lie with a certain probability. To obtain
confidence limits of an estimated rainfall value at any desired level, an estimate of the
standard error of the distribution of parameters is required.
A confidence interval gives an estimated range of values, which is likely to include an
unknown population parameter. The 95% confidence intervals for different return periods
have been computed using Se of estimates.
Return period value for any period can be estimated using the following equation
^ ^
X T  u  K T
(4.32)
Lowery and Nash (1972) derived the expression for standard error (s.e) for the estimated
^ ^
parameters of u, 

var(u )  1.168 ( 2 / n ) (4.33)

var( )  1.10 ( 2 / n ) (4.34)

cov(u,  )  0.096  ( 2 / n ) (4.35)


Where n is the sample size. Using the above values eq. 4.33 can be written as

var( X T )  var(u )  K T var( )  2 K T . cov(u ,  )


2
(4.36)

se (XT )  var (X T ) (4.37)

Therefore, confidence limits at 95% confidence level are given as,


Lower Limit (LL)  X T  1.96se (X T ) (4.38)

Upper Limit (UL)  X T  1.96se (X T ) (4.39)


Using 4.38 and 4.39 confidence limits were calculated.
Goodness of fit of Gumbel distribution was tested by Chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smironov
(K-S) tests at 5% level of significance. Chi-square test resulted in acceptance for 319
stations and rejection of 19 stations, whereas K-S test resulted in acceptance for 340

Statistical Estimates of PMP and Design Rainfalls for Different Return Periods

stations and rejection of 2 stations. One station was rejected by both tests. Rejected station
was discarded in the analysis.
The data of annual maximum rainfall series for durations of 1, 2 and 3 days for each of the
343 stations were subjected to Gumbel’s distribution and estimates of maximum 1, 2 and 3
day rainfalls for the return periods of 2.33; 5; 10; 25; 50; 100; 500; 1,000; 5,000 and 10,000
were determined. The design rainfalls for different return periods together with their
confidence limits are given Volume II (Table 6-1 to Table 6-3) for 1-day, 2-day and 3-day
respectively.
The maximum 1-day, 2-day and 3-day rainfall values for all stations were plotted for each
return period on separate maps of the Godavari basin and smooth isohyets of rainfall were
then drawn at appropriate intervals so as to prepare generalized maps. The spatial
distribution of the point values of maximum rainfall values for return periods of 2.33; 5; 10;
25; 50; 100; 500; 1,000; 5,000 and 10,000 years are shown in Volume II (Figure 6-1 to
Figure 6-30).
