Abstract

The peak flood discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during a storm event. It is a primary design variable for the design of stormwater runoff facilities such as pipe systems, storm inlets and culverts, and small open channels. The present study is an attempt to assess the peak flood discharge in Thampanoor , a high flood risk area in Kerala, India using Rational method integrating GIS and Remote sensing.
