Abstract: | <p>An approach to incorporate the effect of flood routing through a channel reach for use with the analytical probabilistic stormwater models (APSWM) was developed earlier in 2005. That earlier approach relied on adding the Muskingum K value of the channel reach into the catchment time of concentration and treating the whole drainage area including the channel reach as a lumped catchment. This is insufficient since other factors such as the X value in the Muskingum routing method also affects the routing results. In this study, a new approach to incorporate the routing effect of channel reaches in APSWM was developed where not only the K value but also the X value of a channel reach are considered. A number of continuous simulations were conducted to verify the proposed approach. It was demonstrated that the proposed approach performs better than the earlier one.</p> |
