Concepts of Flood Control

Flooding is a temporary overflow of water that submerges or covers the the usually dry land. It can also be defined as the overflow of the excess amount of water that covers a huge area of land which is normally dry.

You are responsible for calculating the peak discharge for a culvert design in a smallwatershed in Washington, DC. The watershed area is 4 acres and currently has 30 % of its area ofindustrial (heavy areas) and 70 % of residential (single –family areas). The design manual suggestsyou design your culvert for a 10 return period. The watershed has a concentration time of2 hours. Calculate:a) What is the design peak flow?b) What is the impact of the runoff coefficient (C) range on your design?c) After you implemented your project, the residential area was entirely converted toindustrial areas. Would that affect you design? If yes, by how much?
10.3. For some reason, a lined hazardous-waste landfill was located on top of a confined aquifer. Situated approximately 500 m away is a community water supply well which is pumped at a rate of 104 m³/d. If an earthquake occurs which splits open the liner and pollutes the aquifer, how much time is available to shut down the well and avoid withdrawing contaminated water? Assume the follow- ing aquifer characteristics are applicable: hydraulic conductivity = 50 m/d, porosity = 0.2, aquifer thickness = 5 m, and aquifer width = 50 m. (Courtesy of Jim Hunt.)
