Table Y. Design discharges for dam at La Calzada [Preliminary 080410]. | |||||
Hydrograph | Flood discharge (m3/s) | Hydrograph volume (hm3) | Area-weighted 24-hr storm depth (mm) | Storm volume (hm3) | Runoff (%) |
Principal spillway hydrograph 1 | 4,108 | 90 | 119 | 108 | 83 |
Emergency spillway hydrograph 2 | 4,799 | 114 | 146 | 132 | 86 |
Freeboard hydrograph 3 | 6,503 | 182 | 222 | 201 | 91 |
1 The principal spillway hydrograph (PSH) is used to determine:
(a) the capacity of the principal spillway, (b) the emergency spillway crest elevation, and (c) the volume of retarding pool storage.
2 The emergency spillway hydrograph (ESH) is used to determine: (a) the capacity of the emergency spillway, (b) the maximum design-pool elevation, and (c) the volume of surcharge storage. 3 The freeboard hydrograph (FBH) is used to set the minimum dam-crest elevation, i.e., to establish the amount of freeboard. | |||||
