31. Rational Equation (modified for urbanization) Q p = 484.1A 0.723 (1+U) 1.516 P E 1.113 T r 0.403 A = drainage area U = fraction of imperviousness P E = volume of excess rainfall T r = duration of rainfall excess
32. Adjustment for Urbanization Adjusted peak discharge due to observed impervious factor = Observed Peak Discharge multiplied by adjustment factor of the observed imperviousness
35. Hershfield Method where X PMP is the PMP for a given station for a specific duration and X¯ n and σ n are the mean and standard deviation for a series of n annual maximum rainfall values of a given duration respectively. K m is the frequency factor and is the largest of all the calculated K values for all stations in a given area.
36. Frequency Factor Calculation where X 1 , X¯ n −1 and σ n −1 are the highest value, mean and standard deviation respectively excluding the X 1 value from the series.
