Hi All;
I am designing a detention pond that will have no outflow - that means water will be detained till it evaporates. And of course I will design a primary spillway.
The pond will be concrete lined (or concrete canvas) and it will be in an aried environment - but when it rains it has a high intensity (25 yrs storm - 1 hour duration has an intensity of 60mm/hr)
I have the IDF curve for 2 - 5 - 10 - 25 - 100 year.
What is the used practice to size this pond - I mean is it 24 - 2 years storm as I read in some online documents or else ?
Appreciate very much your help
Best Regards
Ashraf
