Sources of Data
• Weather Records – temperature, humidity and wind
velocity
• Precipitation Data
• Stream Flow Records
• Evaporation and Evapo-transpiration data
• Infiltration characteristics of the study area
• Soils of the area – State govt. dept of Agriculture
• Land use land cover
• Ground water characteristics
• Physical and geological Characteristics of the data
• Water quality data
Flood Design Techniques
• Use stream flow records
– Limited data
– Can be used for high probability events
• Use precipitation records
– Use rain gauges rather than stream gauges
– Determine flood magnitude based on precipitation,
runoff, stream flow
• Create a synthetic storm
– Based on record of storms
