Functional Design of Flood Control Reservoirs
The functional design of a flood control reservoir has as its objective the determination of the relation between the storage space that must be provided and the corresponding reduction of the flood peak. The method of incorporating this relation into the study of the economic balance of a flood control system has been explained in detail by Sherman M. Woodward,3 M. Am. Soc. C. E. Mr. Woodward’s “five-sixths rule,” which heretofore has provided the only direct method for the functional design computations, is limited in its application to reservoirs of such proportions that the maximum outflow is small compared with the average inflow during the flood, and to reservoirs with orifice-type outlets and a certain type of depth-capacity relationship.
