This document describes the development of intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves for rainfall in Sagaing, Myanmar. Daily maximum rainfall data from 1989-2018 was collected and analyzed to estimate short duration rainfall intensities using empirical formulas. Probability distributions including Gumbel's Extreme Value and Log Pearson Type III were used to forecast rainfall for various return periods. IDF curves were developed for return periods of 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years by converting hourly rainfall intensities determined from the empirical formulas. Empirical equations relating rainfall intensity and duration were also developed using least squares regression. The results provide IDF curves and equations that can be used for planning and designing water resources and hydraulic infrastructure projects in Sagaing.
Revision of the Rainfall Intensity Duration Frequency Curves for the City of ...theijes
This work involves the revision of the Rainfall Intensity Duration Frequency (IDF) Curves for the city of Kumasi. Annual Maximum Rainfall depths of various durations over twenty-two years were obtained from the Ghana Meteorological Services. The data set was then subjected to frequency analysis to determine the distribution of which best characterize the data set. The annual maximum series were found to be drawn from the Gumbel distribution whose parameters were computed by fitting the statistics to the data. The Chi-square test and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test prove the appropriateness of the fitting. Since the data available was only 22 years, IDF values for return periods higher than 22 years were obtained using frequency factors. The IDF estimates resulting from this work have been compared with the existing IDF curves prepared by J.B Danquah. The results show that for shorter durations (12 min and 24 min), the new IDF Curves give higher intensities for the same return period; the percentage increase ranges between 2% and 25%, whiles for longer durations (42min, 1 hr, 2hr, 3hr, 6hr, 12hr and 24 hr), the new IDF Curves give lower intensities for the same return period with the percentage decrease ranging between 3% and 49% when compared with the existing J.B Danquah IDF Curves. This might be as a result of low precipitation trends for shorter durations and high precipitation trends for longer durations in 1970s and before. These therefore call for the revision and updating of the existing IDF Curves for all the major cities and towns in Ghana to take into account the effect of climate change

A Holistic Approach for Determining the Characteristic Flow on Kangsabati Cat...ijceronline
Kangsabati river rises from the Chotanagpur plateau in the state of West Bengal, India and passes through the districts of Purulia, Bankura and Paschim Medinipur in West Bengal before joining into river Rupnarayan. It is life of these three districts of West Bengal situated in the western part of the state. The river has ephemeral characteristics i.e. it has low flow in the year round and have a high peak on a certain time basis. In the Kangasabati catchment hydrological study gives an evident that during the period every two years there is a chance of drought condition and consecutively after that there is a high flow year. In our study period from 1991 to 2010 there are six low streamflow year i.e. in that year there is less rainfall than the average rainfall on that area. The year 1991, 2002 and 2009 are the drought prone year and above that in 2010 the severe drought condition was seen and this is the lowest rainfall year among the last 20 years and the rainfall on this year is only 766 mm which is in an about 38% less rainfall than the average rainfall of the catchment. And the highest flood peak in the last twenty year is noted on 19th Aug 2007 as 377107.8 Mm3

Intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves are among the most demandable information in meteorology, hydrology and engineering water resources design, planning, operation, and management works. The IDF Curves accessible are for the most part done by fitting arrangement of yearly greatest precipitation force to parametric dispersions. Intensity-durationfrequency (IDF) curves represent the relationship between storm intensity, storm duration and return period. Environmental change is relied upon to intensify the boundaries in the atmosphere factors. Being prone to harsh climate impacts, it is very crucial to study extreme rainfall-induced flooding for short durations over regions that are rapidly growing. One way to approach the extremes is by the application of the Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves. The annual maximum rainfall intensity (AMRI) characteristics are often used to construct these IDF curves that are being used in several infrastructure designs for urban areas. Thus, there is a necessity to obtain high temporal and spatial resolution rainfall information. Many urban areas of developing countries lack long records of short-duration rainfall. The shortest duration obtained is normally at a daily scale/24 h. This paper suggests their generation based on annual daily maximum rainfall (ADMR) records. Rainfall data of 23 (Twenty three) hydrological years of all stations were used. Maximum rainfall frequency analysis was made by LogNormal Distribution method.
Engineering infrastructures such as storm water drains and bridges are commonly designed using the concept of Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves, which assume that the occurrence of precipitation patterns and distributions are spatially similar within the drainage area and remain unchanged throughout the lifespan of the infrastructures (stationary). Based on the premise that climate change will alter the spatial and temporal variability of precipitation patterns, inaccuracy in the estimation of IDF curves may occur. As such, prior to developing IDF curves, it is crucial to analyse trends of annual precipitation maxima. The objective of this study was to estimate the precipitation intensities and their uncertainties (lower and upper limits) for durations of 5min, 10min, 15min, 30min, 60min,120min, 720min and 1440min and return periods of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 years in the Upper Cauvery Karnataka India using Pearson type III Values . The annual precipitation maxima were extracted from long-term (1995–2017) precipitation data for Forty Three meteorological stations sourced from the Water resources Development Organization Karnataka. On average, the estimated extreme precipitation intensities for the Study area ranged from 5.1 mm/h for 24 h storm duration to 226.01 mm/h for 5min at 100 years return period. At 50 year return period, the intensity ranged from 5.2 mm/h for 24h duration to 225 mm/h for the duration of 5min.

The estimation of rainfall intensity is commonly required for the design of hydraulic and water resources engineering control structures. The intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) relationship is a mathematical relationship between the rainfall intensity, the duration and the return period. The present study aimed the derivation of IDF curves of Manvi Taluk of Raichur District using four Rain gauge Station with rain gauge stations with 19 years of rainfall data (1998 to 2016). The Normal Distribution, Log Normal Distribution, Gumbel distribution techniques are used to derived the rainfall intensity values of 2,5,10,15,30,60,120,720,1440 minutes of rainfall duration with different return period. The short duration IDF using daily rainfall data are presented, which is input for water resources projects.

The fast extension of urban area that does not have adequate preparedness to cope with climate change is certainly a big risk to life and economy. The study region lies in Karnataka India. The sub-daily IDF curves for current and future climate for the region were constructed from 1 to 24 h based on the Normal Distribution approach. Rainfall data of 23 (Twenty three) hydrological years of all stations were used. Maximum rainfall frequency analysis was made by Normal Distribution method. Finally Equations were developed for different return periods.
Flood is the most devastating environmental hazard throughout the world causing loss of precious human lives
and damage to infrastructure. They occur by unusual overflow of water over the banks of rivers or channels
thus inundating the surrounding area. The magnitude and intensity of floods depends on hydrological and
physical characteristics of the catchment and river channel. Adverse effects of these floods can be alleviated
through mapping of floodplain which is essentially the area around the channel which is likely to be flooded.
One of the methods of floodplain delineation is modeling the river flow using computer models such as the
Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). In this study the application of 2D HEC-RAS
river model is used to develop a floodplain map of river Kabul.
IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON RESREVIOR OPERATION POLICIES – THE CASE OF ASWAN ...IAEME Publication
In 1960 after the beginning of the construction of Aswan High Dam a great Reservoir (AHDR) was formed as a result of it for the purposes of flood control, hydropower production and water storage. The reservoir is of 550 km long and of 350 km2 surface area which is located on the border between Egypt and Sudan. The Aswan high dam reservoir (AHDR) is so important for Egypt because it represent a safe valve against draught and water needs shortage for country future. Also It control the Nile river flood each year to avoid its destructive damage by storage the water exceeding amount which exceed the Nile river stream capacity downstream the Aswan high dam. In this research our goal was to study the AHDR operation under the effect of different scenarios of climate changes,

Flood frequency analysis of river kosi, uttarakhand, india using statistical ...eSAT Journals
Abstract In the present study, flood frequency analysis has been applied for river Kosi in Uttarakhand. The river Kosi is an important tributary of Ganga river system, which arising from Koshimool near Kausani, Almora district flows on the western side of the study area and to meet at Ramganga River. The annual flood series analysis has been carried out to estimate the flood quantiles at different return period at Kosi barrage site of river Kosi. The statistical approach provided a significant advantage of estimation of flood at any sites in the homogenous region with very less or no data. In the at –site analysis of annual flood series the Normal, Log normal, Pearson type III, Log Pearson type III, Gumbel and Log Gumbel distribution were applied using method of moments . From the analysis of different goodness of fit tests, it has been found that the Log Gumbel distribution with method of moment as parameters estimation found to be the best-fit distribution for Kosi River and other sites in the region. It is recommended that the regional parameters for Kosi Basin may be used only for primary estimation of flood and should be reviewed when more regional data available. Keywords: Flood Frequency Analysis, River Kosi, Annual Peak Flood discharge, Return Period, Goodness of fit Test.
An attempt has been made to study the variability of seasonal and annual rainfall for a period of 25 years (19912015) for the upper Cauvery portion which has five districts. It can be observed that the average annual rainfall for every five years considered range from 800 to 1200mm for more than 45 percent of the area upto 2010 and from 2011-2015 it has been reduced to less than 35 percent and the percentage of area for which the rainfall range was less than 800mm was increased to 28.39 percent which was less than 14 percent from 1991-2010. The maximum portion of the area had average post monsoon rainfall between 100mm to 200mm has been from 1991 to 2010. And from 2011-2016 the maximum portion of the area has a average post monsoon rainfall less than 150mm. Some parts of Hassan, kodagu and chikkamangalore districts portions in the study area has average annual rainfall above 2000mm where as mandya district portion in the study area has annual rainfall less than 800mm and in mysore district average annual rainfall ranges from 800mm to 1500mm.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

1. Introduction
Degradation of water quality, property damage and potential loss of life due to flooding is caused by extreme
rainfall events. Historic rainfall event statistics (in terms of intensity, duration, and return period) are used to
design flood protection structures and many other civil engineering structures involving hydrologic flows. Any
change in climate produces modifications in extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall, heat and cold
waves, in addition to prolonged drought occurrences [3]. Myanmar suffers from climate change impacts on
water cycle by sudden change of weather pattern such as flood and long drought and thus sustainability of water
environment in some areas facing difficulties. Due to the climate change impacts, rainfall pattern and rainfall
intensity are significantly changed occasionally in some parts of the country depending on the topographical
condition in Myanmar. As a consequence, lesser inflows into the reservoirs, resulting in irrigation water
shortage problems particularly in dry season. Rainfall intensities of various frequencies and durations are the
important parameters for the hydrologic design of storm sewers, culverts and many other hydraulic structures.
Short-term, high-intensity rainfall that occurs in inland areas with poor drainage often produces urban flash
floods [7]. Densely populated areas have a high risk for flash floods. The construction of buildings, highways,
driveways, and parking lots increases runoff by reducing the amount of rain absorbed by the ground. During
periods of heavy rainfall, storm drains may become overwhelmed and flood roads and buildings. Low spots,
such as underpasses, underground parking garages, and basements are especially vulnerable to flash floods.
Subway stations and rail lines are also vulnerable to flash floods [1]. The determination of the probable
frequency of extreme rainfall events of different intensities and durations is the basic step in designing a flood
control structure, in order to provide an economic size of the structure. Data providing information about return
periods of extreme rainfall events of various intensities and durations are vital. Rainfall intensity-duration-
frequency (IDF) is one of the most important tools in hydrology and hydraulic design used by engineers in
planning, designing and operating rainwater infrastructures [5,6]. IDF relationships are suitable for estimating
design storms (DS) to obtain peak discharge and hydrograph shape in any hydraulic design. Since rainfall
characteristics are often used to design hydraulic structures and urban drainage system, reviewing and updating
rainfall characteristics such as intensity, duration and frequency are essentially required. Therefore, this study
also focuses on developing IDF curves and proposing empirical equations related with rainfall intensity and
duration of various frequencies for selected station in Myanmar [2,8].
2. Background of the Study Area
Sagaing is the capital of Sagaing Region and located the Ayeyarwady River, 20 km to the south-west of
Mandalay on the opposite bank of the river, Sagaing, with numerous Buddhist monasteries is an important
religious and monastic centre It lies between North Latitude 22°18' and 21°56' and East Longitude 95°2' and
95°24'. Temperatures are very high throughout the year, although the winter months (December–February) are
significantly milder (around 21°C in January). The early monsoon months from April to July are especially hot,
with average high temperatures reaching 38.4 °C (101.1 °F) in April. Sagaing received 139 millimetres (5.5 in)
of rainfall on 19 Oct 2011. This was a new record for rainfall within 24 hours in October in Sagaing for the last
47 years. The previous record was 135 millimetres (5.3 in) on 24 Oct 1967. The following Figure 1 shows the
location map of the study area.

3.1. Empirical Reduction Formula
The annual maximum daily rainfall were converted into shorter duration (1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
and 12-hrs) values using Equation 1.
Pt = P24 (t / 24)1/3
(1)
where, Pt = the required precipitation depth in mm for the duration of t-hour
P24 = annual maximum daily rainfall (mm) and
T = the time duration (in hours) for the required precipitation depth.
3.2. Rainfall Intensity
Rainfall intensity is the ratio of the total amount of rain (rainfall depth) falling during a given period to the
duration of the period. It is expressed in depth units per units time, usually as mm per hour (mm/hr).
It=Pt/TD (2)
where, IT = rainfall intensity
= hourly rainfall depth
TD = duration in hours.
The frequency of the rainfall is usually defined by reference to the annual maximum series, which consists of
the largest values observed in each year [10].
3.3. IDF Empirical Equations
IDF empirical equations are the equations that estimate the maximum rainfall intensity for different duration and
return period. IDF is a mathematical relationship between the rainfall intensity i, the duration and the return
period T.
i = (3)
i = x*(td)-y
(4)
where, i = the rainfall intensity in mm/hr,
= the rainfall duration in min
5. American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences (ASRJETS) (2019) Volume 58, No 1, pp 196-209
200
a, b, x, and y are the fitting parameter. These empirical equation indicates that for a given return period the
rainfall intensity decreases with increases in rainfall duration. The intensity duration function formulas are the
empirical equations representing a relationship among maximum rainfall intensity and other parameters of
interest such as rainfall duration and frequency [9].
3.4. Probability Distribution
Frequency analysis of hydrologic data use probability distributions related to the magnitude of extreme events to
their frequency of occurrence. It is generally assumed that a hydrological variable has a certain distribution type.
Some of the most important probability distributions are used in hydrology. Gumbel and Log Pearson Type III
distributions were identified to be the most suitable for IDF construction [6].
A. Gumbel’s Extreme Value Distribution
Gumbel distribution is used to analyze such variables as monthly and annual maximum values of daily rainfall
and river discharge volumes, and also to describe droughts. The Gumbel distribution is used for extreme
(maxima and minima values) respectively of hydrological variables. The importance of the Gumbel distribution
in practice is due to its extreme value behavior. It has been applied either as the parent distribution or as an
asymptotic approximation, to describe extreme wind speeds, rainfall, minimum temperature, floods, rainfall
during droughts and geological problems etc [6,11].
The rainfall ( ) corresponding to a given return period (T) using the Gumbel’s Distribution is given by:
= σ+ KS (5)
where, σ = average annual daily maximum rainfall.
S = standard deviation of annual daily maximum rainfall.
T = return period and
K = frequency factor given by:
K = -
√
(0.5772 + ln (ln ( ) ) (6)
B. Log-Pearson Type III Distribution
The log-Pearson type 3 (LP3) distribution has been one of the most frequently used distributions for hydrologic
frequency analyses since the recommendation of the Water Resources Council (1967, 1982) of the United States
as to its use as the base method. The Water Resources Council also recommended that this distribution be fitted
to sample data by using mean, standard deviation and coefficient of skewness of the logarithms of flow data
[i.e., the method of moments (MOM)]. A large volume of literature on the LP3 distribution has since been
6. American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences (ASRJETS) (2019) Volume 58, No 1, pp 196-209
201
published with regard to its accuracy and methods of fitting or parameter estimation. In past year, Phien and
Jivajirajah (1984) applied LP3 distribution to annual maximum rainfall, annual streamflow and annual rainfall.
The Log-Pearson Type III distribution is calculated using the general equation [5,10]:

Where PT*= logarithmic extreme value of rainfall
Pave*= average of maximum precipitation corresponding to a specific duration

KT = Pearson frequency factor which depends on return period T and skewness coefficient Cs.
The skewness coefficient, Cs, is required to compute the frequency factor for this distribution. The skewness
coefficient is computed by equation.

3.5. Least Square Method
A line of best fit is a straight line that is the best approximation of the given set of data. It is used to study the
nature of the relation between two variables. A line of best fit can be roughly determined using an eyeball
method by drawing a straight line on a scatter plot so that the number of points above the line and below the line
is about equal (and the line passes through as many points as possible). A more accurate way of finding the line
of best fit is the least square method. Least square method is applied to find the parameter x and y for
development of empirical equations correlating with intensity and duration [7]. Regression Analysis was applied
to find the parameter a, b, x and y for the rainfall IDF empirical formula. Correlation coefficient (R) was
estimated to find the best fit IDF empirical equation. For a specific return period the equation that gives R value
nearer to 1 have the best fit [7].

4. Results and Discussions
Frequency analysis for maximum daily rainfall are conducted using Equation 2.9. By using Equation 2.10, K
value for different return periods are determined by Gumbel’s and Log Pearson Type III Distribution. Also, the
rainfall ( ) corresponding of a given return period (T) is determined using Gumbel’s Extreme Value
Distribution. Table 1 and 2 give the rainfall for various return periods and K values for the Sagaing station.
Rainfall for different return periods are used to change hourly rainfall to develop Intensity-Duration-Frequency
(IDF) curve. Using empirical reduction formula Equation 2.1, shorter duration (1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11 and 12 hrs) rainfall series are generated from rainfall for different return periods and shown in Table 3
and 4. The IDF curves for different return by Gumbel and Log Pearson Type II distribution are shown in Figures
3 to 6 with semi log and log log scale.

To develop the empirical equation regarding with intensity and duration, Equation 2 and least square method are
used. Then, this equation is transformed in the form of taking logarithm to find x and y. Intensity and duration
from Table 3 and 4 are used as dependent and independent variables for least square method. Then, Table 5 and
6 summarized empirical equations for different return periods and R values for Sagaing station (Gumbel’s and
Log Pearson Type III).

As a discussed, the calculated extreme rainfall value, P for Gumbel’s and Log Pearson Type II are not differ and
it is evidence that the value range from 102.077 to 162.82 for 5 years and 100 years return period. It is evident

that the developed empirical equations correlating rainfall intensity and rainfall duration for different return
periods have good correlation since R value are one for every station. The value of x is different, but y is the
same for every return period because time duration (td) is the same for various return periods in every station.
The value of x in the IDF equation, it is seen that the value range between 500 and 900 for both distribution
methods. But the value of y remain the constant for different return period. The constant value x is not very
different in both method and it has not very differ in 5, 10, 25 and 50 year but a little differ in 100 year return
peroids. The use of IDF curves is cumbersome and hence a generalized empirical relationship was developed for
two forms of equations through method of least squares. These IDF equations will help to estimate the rainfall
intensity for any specific return period in Sagaing city in a short time and more easily. This study will help for
planning and designing of any water resources project in Sagaing city specially the urban drainage management.
5. Conclusion
In this study, empirical reduction formula is used to convert hourly rainfall and intensities were determined.
These estimated short duration rainfall data were used in Gumbel and Log-Pearson Type III probability
distribution methods to determine the rainfall and their corresponding return periods. It was found in the study
that R values for all probability function, was -1. It is noted that the extreme value by Gumbel and Log-Pearson
value have good correlation. Then, IDF curves were constructed by using rainfall intensity and duration. While
the curve-shaped graph are obtained when the data is plotted on semi-log paper, straight lines are obtained on
log-log paper. Besides, rainfall intensity and duration were used to develop empirical equations related with
rainfall intensity and duration. Therefore, the empirical equations for all stations under study were proposed by
correlating rainfall intensity and duration using least square method. Finally, it is concluded that this study
proposes the IDF curves and empirical equations which can be used as essential parameters in hydraulic design
of urban drainage structures such as storm sewers, culverts and aqueducts and, planning for water resources
projects.
