  1. Detention Routing www.b-e-c.com/PromoPages/GatewayBrownfields4.jpg http://emengineers.com/images/Wh2o1lo.jpg

  2. Objectives • Know what a detention basin is • Compute a reservoir routing by hand • Inflow Hydrograph • Storage and Outflow versus WSE • Routing Table

  3. Detention Basins • Inflow (ditch or pipe) • Storage • Outflow (orifice or weir or combination) • Berm • Emergency spillway

  4. Routing • Method used to model the outflow hydrograph • Based on continuity equation • Water in varies • Water out varies

  5. 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)

  6. 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)

  7. 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

  8. 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 • Note-variables in red are initially known

  9. 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

  10. Equation • O2 and S2 -2 unknowns; need 2 equations • There is a relationship between outflow and storage volume

  11. Example 14-5Inflow Hydrograph

  12. Example 14-5 Storage Vol & Discharge vs WSE Cell G9=2*7500/(1440)-2.5=7.9 cfs Cell H9=2*7500/(1440)+2.5=12.9 cfs
