The design flow is established by selecting proper combinations of rainfall and run-off
characteristics that is expected to occur over a stipulated period. The design criteria is then the
maximum flow in cubic meter per second carried by the drainage structure with no flooding or
a limited amount of flooding to be exceeded on the average of once over the design period.
Parameters
Run-off estimates shall be based on the Lloyd-Davies method. In this method the run-off
