Why choose this project topic?
The value of this topic is its focus on routing runoff when a small rain garden reaches storage capacity. It links an engineering decision to overflow volume, peak discharge and storage recovery, giving a student a clear basis for calculations, figures and a critical discussion of uncertainty and practical limitations.
How do the selected engineering assumptions or methods affect overflow volume, peak discharge and storage recovery when routing runoff when a small rain garden reaches storage capacity?
Choose an accessible approved laboratory or explicitly fictional design case, then agree the parameter range and evaluation plan for routing runoff when a small rain garden reaches storage capacity with your supervisor.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the physical system, assumptions and evidence required for routing runoff when a small rain garden reaches storage capacity.
- 02Model a fictional catchment, compare overflow crest levels and test rainfall durations while conserving inflow and outflow volumes.
- 03Compare overflow volume, peak discharge and storage recovery and explain uncertainty, sensitivity and the limits of the design.
A suggested research approach
Model a fictional catchment, compare overflow crest levels and test rainfall durations while conserving inflow and outflow volumes. Agree the method and any laboratory safety requirements with a qualified supervisor before work begins. Document units, calibration or model verification, then compare overflow volume, peak discharge and storage recovery with a stated reference and retain inconsistent observations in the analysis.
What you will need
- Synthetic catchment geometry
- Rainfall design assumptions
- Hydrologic modelling tool
Keep your project scope clear
A model does not establish infiltration safety or flood protection for an actual property.
