Identification of Catchment
The catchment area was marked using the elevations in Google maps, to find the discharge at
the bridge location 18+300. The stream paths too was marked and measured. In this case the
channel carries water from two reservoir outlets; hence the two respective discharges from the
reservoirs at HFL should be added to the calculated Design flood resulted from surface runoff of
the catchment area.

Conclusion
According to calculations the Design discharge for a 100 year return period exceeds the capacity of
the structure. The stakeholder comments obtained during the site visit states that the, High flood
level reaches the above the soffit of the deck.
