1. 1 Detention Design
2. 2 Objectives Know what a detention basin is
Compute a reservoir routing by hand
Inflow Hydrograph
Storage and Outflow versus WSE
Routing Table
3. 3
4. 4 Detention Basin-Purposes Store water temporarily during a storm and release the stored water slowly
Attenuate the flow
Store first-flush
Design for infiltration
5. 5 Detention Basins On-Site
Regional
6. 6 Detention Basins Inflow (ditch or pipe)
Storage
Outflow (orifice or weir)
Emergency spillway
7. 7 Routing Method used to model the outflow hydrograph
Based on continuity equation
Water in varies
Water out varies
8. 8 Information Needed to Route Inflow hydrograph
Relation of storage volume to elevation in the proposed detention basin
Relation of outflow to water level elevation (discharge rating)
9. 9 Computing Storage Volumes Elevation-Area
Average end-area
10. 10 Discharge Rating Calculate outflows based on water elevation in the detention pond
Orifice and weir equations are used
11. 11 Set up table with small time steps Water in – Water Out = Difference in Storage
(water in is changing w/ time)
(water out is a function of basin WSE)
(basin WSE is a function of basin geometry)
12. 12 Reservoir Routing Avg Inflow (I) – Avg Outflow (O) = Change in storage per some increment of time
If I=O there is no change in water elevation
If I>O then water surface rises
If I<O then water surface decreases
13. 13 Reservoir RoutingOver some time increment (1 to 2) I1 and I2 are inflows at beginning and end of time increment
O1 and O2 are outflows
S2 and S1 are actual storage volumes
Delta t is the time from 1 to 2
14. 14 Equation (I1+I2)/2 – (O1+O2)/2 = (S2-S1)/t
Rearrange to:
(I1+I2) + [(2*S1/t)-O1]=2*S2/t + O2
Left hand side – knowns
Right-hand side - unknowns
15. 15 Equation O2 and S2 -2 unknowns; need 2 equations
There is a relationship between outflow and storage volume
