DEVELOPMENT OF IDF CURVES

Rainfall data for years 1994 to 2014 was obtained from
the Pakistan Meteorological Department, Jail Road,
Lahore.
Data provided was Highest rainfall in a day of a month,
giving 12 readings for an year
Maximum rainfall in a day, was selected for each year.
The data selected was, used to calculate rainfall intensity
for durations for various periods.

INDIAN METEROLOGICAL
FORMULA

Indian
Meteorological Formula is used to convert
the 24 hour Rainfall amount to shorter durations.
P is the precipitation, P(24) is the total amount of
rainfall in 24 hours, t is the value of time in hours,
for which we are calculating the precipitation. It is
found that this formula provides best estimation
of short duration rainfall.

RUNOFF COEFFICIENT
The coefficient C is a dimensionless number that
represent the fraction of rainfall that appears as surface
runoff in the drainage basin.
If the rainfall becomes runoff, as it would be on the
impervious surface, the value of C would be 1.0, its the
maximum possible value.
Factors that include the type of runoff coefficient include
the type of land use in the drainage basin, the
vegetation, and the ground slope.

TIME OF CONCENTRATION
There are two parts of the time of concentration, the
overland flow time and the channel flow time.
The overland flow time is the time it takes the surface
sheetflow to reach the beginning of the stream or storm
drain inlet at the upper end of the basin.
Several charts are also available that correlate the
overland flow time with the ground slope with runoff
coefficient.
As the flow of stormwater in university is sheet flow, we
have used the sheet flow formula by SCS to calculate
time of concentration

TIME OF CONCENTRATION

As the results are

small,
Tc is time of concentration in hours very
resulting in very
small time of
n is the manning roughness constantconcentration
for the

overland flow depth.

L is the flow length.

P2 is the 2 year, 24 hour precipitation in inches.
S is the slope of hydraulic grade line.

RATIONAL METHOD
This the most popular formula that correlates with the
runoff in relatively small urban and suburban drainage
basins is called rational formula.
The rainfall formula expresses the relationship between
peak runoff and rainfall formula as follows: Q = CIA
It is important to note that Q in the rational formula
represents only the maximum discharge caused by a
particular storm.
