Design storm duration for estimation of floods in ungauged basins
Merodavno trajanje kiša za proračun velikih voda na neizučenim slivovima
Abstract
Design flood flows in small ungauged basins are traditionally estimated by
calculating flood hydrographs resulting from design storms. This paper considers traditional
application of the synthetic unit hydrograph and the SCS method and the choice of
the design storm duration for a case study of the Obnica River basin. By comparing the
design floods obtained from design storms and the observed flood flows, recommendations
for the engineering practice are given.
