Zaidah Ibrahim | Wardah Tahir
Design flood estimation is crucial in the planning and design of water resources projects like the construction of culverts, bridges, reservoirs or dams. The safety and cost efficiency of a hydraulic structure is closely related to the accuracy of design flood estimation. The paper discusses the automation of two widely used design flood estimation techniques namely the Regional Frequency Analysis Method, Rational Method, and Triangular Hydrograph Method. An effort is made to develop an expert system on these three techniques. Besides, the Regional Frequency Analysis technique is updated as to produce more accurate procedures using longer period of annual maximum stream flow data and more gauging stations throughout the Peninsular Malaysia.
