3. 7th International Conference on SewerProcesses and Networks. 28-30, August 2013, Sheffield, U.K. • Problem/ Context / Aim. So maybe the problemis the design procedureitself ? Mustapha.boukhelifa@gmail.com

4. 7th International Conference on SewerProcesses and Networks. 28-30, August 2013, Sheffield, U.K. • Problem / Context / Aim. • Only few urban catchments are gauged • No urban hydrometrics data available for sewer networks design. • The used design procedures are very simplistic: rational method and its derivatives, SCS-CN, etc. Mustapha.boukhelifa@gmail.com

5. 7th International Conference on SewerProcesses and Networks. 28-30, August 2013, Sheffield, U.K. • Problem / Context / Aim. Strom water runoff/ Discharge model used in Algeria for sewer network design • Identifying the most suitable storm water runoff model • Assessment of their reliability Mustapha.boukhelifa@gmail.com

6. 7th International Conference on SewerProcesses and Networks. 28-30, August 2013, Sheffield, U.K. • Methodology. • The implemented models require only: • Rainfall Characteristics; • Geomorphological characteristics of the catchments. • Rainfall events of different durations and intensities; • Simulated Hydrographs vs. Observed hydrographs.

8. 7th International Conference on SewerProcesses and Networks. 28-30, August 2013, Sheffield, U.K. • Study Area and Data • Bab el Oued is located in th west of Algiers. • 240,000 Inhabitants. • Oued Mkacel Catchment, A= 753hectares. • Maximum Elevation : 380m. • Minimum Elevation: Sea level • Constitued of 10 subcatchments: Barranes, SidiMedjber, FraisVallon, Oued Koriche, Scotto-Nadal, and Jaubert… • Global time of concentration: 12minutes. • Slope varying from 5 to 19% • Hydrological length of the global catchment: 4.5 Km.

12. 7th International Conference on SewerProcesses and Networks. 28-30, August 2013, Sheffield, U.K. • Results Hydrographs simulated by the SCS-CN method and linear reservoir model vs. Measured hydrograph Hydrographs simulated by the SCS-CN method and Muskingum model vs. Measured hydrograph Mustapha.boukhelifa@gmail.com

13. 7th International Conference on SewerProcesses and Networks. 28-30, August 2013, Sheffield, U.K. • Conclusion • For each method there was only one match between simulated hydrographs and measured hydrographs. • It can hardly be said that each method gave a good simulation for a specific event. • Also, it becomes obvious that it is hazardous to continue to base the design of drainage networks using models for ungauged catchments without ensuring that the specific conditions of their establishment are the same as those in the urban catchments. • Ongoing research: • Developing a model for urban runoff adapted to the context of Algerian cities or more generally to all ungauged urban catchment and find solutions to calibrate these models in lack of hydrometrics measurements.
