Time of Concentration

For computation of Time of Concentration Kiprich�s

equation was employed noting the caution stated in the ERADDM.
In order to minimize erroneous estimating of too short Tc, in using this equation,
the channel is subdivided into a number of stretches with similar slopes and Tc
for
each stretch is calculated and summed up to obtain the final Tc.

Kirpich�s equation is given as:

Tc = 0.06628L0.77
S0.385

Where:
Tc = Time of concentration (hr)
L = Maximum length of travel (Km)
S = the mean channel slope (m/m)
===========================================

Q = = 0.00278*C* I5 *A
Where:
A = catchment area in
hectare
Q = design discharge
(m3/s)
C = runoff coefficient
Cf = 1, for design period
10 years
I5 =rainfall intensity
(mm/hr) 5 years return period
3600=factor for changing
hr to second
