Modeling an Urban Drainage System with Large Tailwater Effects under Extreme Rainfall Conditions
When Tropical Storm Allison deluged southeast Texas in June 2001 it caused an estimated $5 billion in damages to the 28 counties declared as disaster areas. Approximately $2 billion of this damage occurred at the Texas Medical Center in the Harris Gully watershed. The data collected during and after the storm, however, provides one of the most extensive databases ever available for the analysis of an urban flood. The calibrated SWMM model successfully simulated the observed T.S. Allison high water levels in Harris Gully. In a continuing study, the model is being used to evaluate potential mitigation options for the watershed.
