Continuous Simulation for Design Flood Estimation Software Update
Dr Walter Boughton developed the Continuous Simulation for Design Flood Estimation software as part of a research project with the CRC. The software system consists of a suite of computer programs for:
á Calibrating models
á Generating 2000 year sequences of daily rainfalls
á Disaggregating the larger daily rainfalls into hourly values
á Calculating losses and rainfall excess values
á Calculating hourly hydrographs of runoff
á Selecting the design flood hydrographs for average recurrence intervals (ARIs) of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 years. Annual maxima series of flood hydrographs or a partial flood series can also be produced if required.
Earlier this year Dr Walter Boughton ran two successful workshops in Brisbane using updated versions of his Continuous Simulation for Design Flood Estimation software.
The updated version is now on the CRC website at: http://www.catchment.crc.org.au/models
It is available for those wishing to further study and/or evaluate the methodology. Feedback to the CRC on experiences with the software is appreciated.
