Watershed Hydrology
Hydrologic unit processes are used for estimation of runoff volumes and flowrates from an individual event to obtain a broader view of the duration of flooding and erosive velocities. This chapter focuses on applications to Green Infrastructure Stormwater Control Measures. Two approaches are in common use for hydrologic analysis and design. The first is a design storm that is developed from the rainfall statistical record and ordered normally with the bulk of the precipitation at the center of the storm. The second approach is the use of continuous simulation, which includes the rainfall time record of a year, or multiple years, to multiple decades. Hydrologic tools are necessary to estimate peak runoff flows from developed watersheds. Peak and high flows can be erosive and damaging to receiving streams. Many stormwater regulations require that stormwater control measures reduce the peak flow from the developed drainage area. Hydraulic considerations are necessary in evaluating watershed hydrology.
