for larger discharge over the discharge obtained (IRC:5)
Design discharge is increased in percnetage depending upon the catchment area

The maximum scour depth may be adopted as
For Box 2 x Dsm = 3.517 m
For Abutments 1.27 x Dsm = 2.233 m

Since Eq-1 = Eq-2, so unitgraph drawn is in order

Step : - 4 Estimation of design storm duration

The design storm duration
TD = 1.1 * tp
= 2.53 hrs
Say 3.00 hrs

Step : - 5 Estimation of point rainfall and areal rainfall

100-yr, 24-hr rainfall = 24.00 cm (From Plate-10)

Ratio of 3-hr rainfall to 24-hr rainfall = 0.49 (from Fig-10)
So, 100-yr 3-hr point rainfall = 11.76 cm
Areal reduction factor corresponding to area 56.372sq km and TD=3 hrs
= 0.950 (From Fig 12 (a) or 12 (b))
So, 100-yr 3-hr areal rainfall = 11.17 cm

Step : - 6 Time distribution of Areal Rainfall and Calculation of Rainfall Excess

This 100-yr 3-hrs areal rainfall is distributed as below (from Annexure-4.3)

Storm Hourly Rainfall Rainfall

Distribution Design Loss
Duration (hrs) Rainfall Increament Excess
coefficient Rate (cm/hr)
(cm) (cm) (cms)

2 0.93 10.39 1.79 0.5 1.29
3 1.00 11.17 0.78 0.5 0.28

Note: Design loss rate in this zone is recommended as 0.5 cm/hr as per part 3.6 of flood estimation report lower
Narmadha -Tapi sub zone -3b (revised)
Step : - 7 Estimation of base flow

The design base flow

Adopting a design base flow of 0.05 cumec per sq.km.recommended for this zone (from para 3.7 of flood estimation report
for lower Narmada and Tapi subzone-3(b)-(revised)))

Total base flow

design base flow = 0.05 cumec/sq.km
Qb = 2.8186 cumecs

Step : - 8 Estimation of 100-yr Flood Peak

For the estimation of the peak discharge the effective rainfall units were re-arranged against the ordinates such that the
maximum effective rainfall was placed against the maximum U.G. ordinates, the next lower value of effective rainfall against
the the next lower value of U.G. ordinates and so on as shown below:

1-hr
U.G. Ordinates effective Direct Runoff
(cumec) rainfall (cumecs)
(cm)
58.00 8.10 469.94
50.00 1.29 64.38
50.00 0.28 14.10

Total = 548.42 cumecs

Base Flow = 2.82 cumecs
100-yr peak flood = 551.24 cumecs
