Peak Flood Discharge from a Landslide Dam Outburst

Landslide dam formation and deformation strongly affect water and sediment runoff. When a large-scale landslide dam collapses due to overflow erosion, peak flood discharge may exceed inflow discharge by several times. Such an abrupt flow discharge increase by a dam burst may cause serious damage downstream. We propose a one-dimensional model for river-bed variation and flood runoff consisting of a two-layer model for immature debris flow and a bank erosion model. We applied this model to the Nonoo landslide dam in Japan’s Miyazaki Prefecture, formed by typhoon Nabi in September 2005, and China’s Tangjiashan landslide dam formed in the Wenchuan earthquake in May 2008. The model reproduces the observed flood runoff processes in the two areas. Calculated results suggest that peak flood discharge diminishes when water accumulating behind the landslide dam is small, and excavating the landslide dam crown effectively reduces flood discharge.

Peak Flood

Conservative peak flood discharge estimation methods such as the rational method do not take into account the soil infiltration of the precipitation, thus leading to inaccurate estimations of peak discharges during storm events. The accuracy of estimated peak flood discharge is crucial in designing a drainage system that has the capacity to channel runoffs during a storm event, especially cloudbursts and in the analysis of flood prevention and mitigation. The aim of this study was to model the peak flood discharges of each sub-watershed in Selangor using a geographic information system (GIS). The geospatial modelling integrated the watershed terrain model, the developed Soil Conservation Service Curve Cumber (SCS-CN) and precipitation to develop an equation for estimation of peak flood discharge. Hydrological Engineering Center-Hydrological Modeling System (HEC-HMS) was used again to simulate the rainfall-runoff based on the Clark-unit hydrograph to validate the modelled estimation of peak flood discharge. The estimated peak flood discharge showed a coefficient of determination, r2 of 0.9445, when compared with the runoff simulation of the Clark-unit hydrograph. Both the results of the geospatial modelling and the developed equation suggest that the peak flood discharge of a sub-watershed during a storm event has a positive relationship with the watershed area, precipitation and Curve Number (CN), which takes into account the soil bulk density and land-use of the studied area, Selangor in Malaysia. The findings of the study present a comparable and holistic approach to the estimation of peak flood discharge in a watershed which can be in the absence of a hydrodynamic simulation model.

Abstract Identifying the various factors that affect the intensity of a flood event, such as its duration and volume, is essential for strategic planning and flood management. Further, quantifying the impacts of these major factors on flood intensity using the contribution rate is essential, but technically challenging. In this study, the authors have adopted the projection pursuit model to quantify the contribution rates of peak flood stage and peak flood discharge, flood duration, and total flood volume (the maximum 12-, 24-, and 72-hour flood volumes) in the Wujiang River in Southern China. This study showed that peak flood discharge and total flood volume were the two dominant factors impacting flood intensity. Although flood duration can be a major factor for some flood events, it contributed the least to flood intensity for most of the historic flood events studied. Likewise, the maximum 24-hour and 72-hour flood volumes contributed little to flood intensity. Findings from this study not only demonstrated the successful adoption of the projection pursuit model for contribution rates, but also provided critical information for planning and managing the regional hydraulic resources in the Wujiang River.

Banjir merupakan salah satu bentuk bencana alam yang hingga saat ini masih belum dapat diselesaikan. Dampak banjir tidak hanya kerugian infrastruktur berupa jalan dan fasilitas umum akan tetapi kerugian materil menjadi bagian dari dampak yang merugikan bagi masyarakan. Padahal, bagi sebagian warga di Semarang dan Kabupaten Demak, banjir menjadi persoalan rutin pada musim penghujan. Daerah yang menjadi langganan banjir di Demak yaitu daerah Sayung, Karang Asem dan Mranggen. Banjir di daerah tersebut sulit diatasi bahkan semakin lama persoalan banjir tersebut semakin parah dan meluas. Dengan demikian penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan perkiraan debit puncak banjir melalui dua metode yang berbeda. Berdasarkan pada hasil maka mitigasi bencana juga dapat ditingkatkan. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode Nakayasu dan FSR Jawa Sumatera untuk mengukur debit puncak banjir dengan menggunakan rentang data curah hujan 10 tahun. Adapun hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa debit banjir yang dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode Nakayasu menghasilkan debit banjir lebih besar daripada analisis debit banjir menggunakan FSR Jawa Sumatera. Hasil analisis dengan menggunakan metode Nakayasu diperoleh nilai terbesar untuk Sungai Penggaron 270,4 m3/detik. Sungai Dombo Sayung 296,4 m3/detik dan Sugai Dolok 332,2 m3/detik. Adapun, untuk Metode FSR Jawa Sumatera diperoleh nilai terbesar untuk Sungai Penggaron 112,7 m3/detik. Sungai Dombo Sayung 239,7 m3/detik dan Sugai Dolok 632,1 m3/detik.Kata kunci : debit banjir; dombo sayung; FSR Jawa Sumatera; nakayasu ABSTRACTFlooding is a form of natural disaster that has yet to be resolved. The impact of flooding is the loss of infrastructure in roads and public facilities, but a material loss is part of the community's detrimental impact. For some residents in Semarang and Demak Regency, flooding is a routine problem during the rainy season. Areas that are regularly flooded in Demak are Sayung, Karang Asem, and Mranggen. Floods in the area are challenging to overcome, even if flooding is getting worse and broader. Thus this study aims to determine the comparison of the estimated peak flood discharge through two different methods. Based on the results, disaster mitigation can also be improved. This study used Nakayasu and Java Sumatera FSR to measure the peak flood discharge using a ten-year rainfall data range. The analysis results show that the flood discharge analyzed using the Nakayasu method produces a more massive flood discharge than the flood discharge analysis using the Java Sumatra FSR. The analysis results using the Nakayasu method obtained the most significant value for the Penggaron River 270.4 m3/second. Sungai Dombo Sayung 296.4 m3/second and Sugai Dolok 332.2 m3/second. Meanwhile, for the Java Sumatra FSR Method, the most significant value was obtained for the Penggaron River 112.7 m3/second. Sungai Dombo Sayung 239.7 m3/second and Sugai Dolok 632.1 m3/second.

Integrated management of water resources is something that must be done to ensure the sustainability of water resources. Based on Minister of Public Works Regulation No. 10 of 2015, water resources management in Indonesia is based on 5 pillars where one of the pillars is the conservation of water resources. Conservation of water resources is a basic concept of ecodrain wherein rainwater falling as much as possible will be absorbed into the ground again or known as zero runoff. One of the technical factors that determine environmentally sound drainage criteria is the recharge system. In this research, the influence of the application of bioretension and rain garden will be discussed as one of the absorption systems for runoff hydrographs in an area, in this case the Upper Cisadane Watershed is used as the research location. Based on the results of the study, it was obtained the reduction of peak flood discharge with the application of type I, II, III and IV biorescence to the existing peak flood discharge of 26.89-26.93%, and reduction of peak flood discharge with the application of rain garden of 27.73%.
