Detention pond routing with variable tailwater - program?
Detention pond routing with variable tailwater - program?
(OP)
I have a detention pond outleting into a floodplain. we have a 100 year detention requirement.
Obviously, as the flood waters rise in the floodplain, my tailwater will be increasing and decreasing the head my outlet structure is working with.
Primarily I use Hydroflow Hydrograph2004, and it allows you to set a 'fixed' tailwater... but I'm trying to figure if there's a program that would allow you to have not only your inflow hydrograph, but also another component to reflect the dynamic nature of the outfall floodplain?
I'd be happy to use Hec1, if it can do this...if someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
JP

Depending on your site you may just look at a low tailwater scenario and a high tailwater scenario and see if you have a problem. If you do it might be useful to look at the probability of the 100 yr event on your site along with the whole watershed since your site 100-yr event may occur with areal reductions for the floodplain.
