The rational method is shown to be of equivalence to a model of a highly discretized catchment with linear routing for channel flow approximation, and effective rainfalls in subareas which are linear with respect to a selected "loss" function's effective rainfall output. The use of a simple "...
Articles in this series on storm sewer hydraulic design cover finding the design stormwater runoff rate with the rational method; calculating the diameter and slope of each section of storm sewer using the Manning equation; the depth at each manhole; and an Excel template fo...
(To compute stormwater runoff depth and pre- and post-development peak discharge, use our SCS TR-55 Peak Discharge Calculator or Rational Method Peak Discharge Calculator.)Our stormwater runoff detention storage basin volume calculation is based on methodology presented in Technical Release 55, Chapter...
The companion paper's development of the well-known Rational Method is used to prepare a computer program to estimate T-year return frequency peak flow rates for flood control and environmental planning purposes. When applied, the computer program results indicate the usufulness of the Rational ...

The Slope Integrated Cn Calculation Methodland use/cover changeswater sensitive planningSustainable stormwater management in developing countries requires more research, and budget compared to developed countries. Runoff measurement in small urban watersheds is often not carried out; city plans are made ...
The stormwater runoff inflow volume is determined using the Rational formula. The rainfall intensities were calculated based on the rainfall IDF relationships published by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage, Malaysia. An example is also included in this paper to demonstrate the calculation ...
where Δ𝑡Δt is the calculation interval, 𝑄𝑡Qt is the flux during the time interval, 𝑉𝑡Vt is the volume of runoff, and 𝐶𝑡Ct is the concentration of the pollutants in Δ𝑡Δt. The performance of LID facilities of different sizes was tested by rainfall events with a ...
2.3.2. Calculation of Runoff Abatement from Internal and External Sources in the Area According to the guidelines, when designing for the control of total runoff and runoff pollution, the design volume of storage should meet the index requirement of “control volume per unit area”, which is ge...
To improve the accuracy and reliability of the design method, a dynamic-wave-simulation-based method (DWSBM) is proposed. Firstly, a numerical model which is equivalent to the surface runoff yield process of RM is established and validated. Then the dynamic wave module is adopted for pipe ...
