HYDROLOGICAL STUDIES
1.1 Main Objective & Scope of Work

The main objective of the hydrological and hydraulic study is to determine the
required size of drainage structures to allow the estimated design flow of the
streams to cross the road safely, and to check whether waterways of existing
structures are sufficient to transmit the flow without risk so that appropriate
decisions could be taken concerning their rehabilitation.

The hydrological and hydraulic study for the project has been based on:
 Topographic survey data of cross drainage structures
 Topographic data and maps of streams, upstream and downstream
 HFL from local enquiries and telltale marks and hydraulic conditions at the
existing drainage structures.

The scope of Work is to prepare the Detailed Hydrological Report for the
Minor Bridge at design chainage 5+000 km over Adena Gadera River.

1.2 General Description of the Project Site

The minor bridge lies on Gadoliya – Pilkhi – Ghansali Motorable road near Tehri
in the state of Uttarakhand at km 5. The road alignment on which the bridges under
consideration falls in the hydro meteorological sub zone of Western Himalayas 7
between longitudes 730 to 810 East and latitudes 290 to 370 North. Major area of
the subzone is under intense irrigation. Forests are located in the areas northeast
and southeast of the zone.
The highest elevation is El.8611 m above MSL located in the Karakoram ranges
in Western Himalayas part of the zone and the lowest elevation is El.300 m above
MSL in the plain areas of U.P. and Punjab.

Motor Road in the State of Uttarakhand

In the northern areas of the zone, skeletal soil along with saline and alkali soils are
found. The areas around Indus River are covered with mountain meadow soils.
Sub mountain soils are located in the central north-west to north-east areas of the
zone. The southern areas are covered with brown hill soil. The areas located in the
vicinity of the subzone 1e are covered with tarai soils. Nearly 75% area located in
north, north-east and south-east of subzone is waste. The annual normal rainfall
over the zone is highly variable ranging from less than 100 mm over Leh to a
maximum of more than 3000 mm. This part of the sub zone experience mean daily
temperatures between 19.6 and 21.8 degree Celsius.

1.3 Data Collection and Data Analysis


Requirements for Hydrological and Hydraulic Design
The hydrological study aims at estimating the peak discharge of the flood
generated by the run-off of rainfall within the catchment area. The hydrological
study requires:
 Knowledge of the characteristics of peak rainfall in the regions.
 Knowledge of the characteristics of the catchment areas.
 Topographic data about the stream, upstream and downstream.
 Survey of India toposheets maps to a scale of 1:50,000 for identification
of catchment area and its characteristics.

Data Collection

Topographic surveys have been done at river crossings with a view to obtain the
cross section of the rivers at the centre line of the road and up to a reasonable
distance at upstream and downstream. The High Flood Levels (HFL) have been
obtained from existing flood marks or ascertained from enquiry with local
knowledgeable persons.

The characteristics of the catchment areas have been ascertained from Survey of
India toposheets having a scale of 1:2,50,000 from which catchment area at the

3
Hydrology Report for Minor Bridge over Adena Gadera River at km 5 of Gadoliya-Pilkhi-Ghansali
Motor Road in the State of Uttarakhand

proposed bridge site, length of the stream and fall in elevation from originating
point to the point of crossing, could be determined. Slope of the stream has been
determined from the contours on the toposheets.

For rivers/streams having catchment area more than 25 sq km, CWC Report on
Flood Estimation Report for Western Sub zone 7 in which the project site lies has
been obtained. This Report has been referred for determining the characteristics
of peak rainfall regimes. The report has been jointly prepared by CWC, MOST,
Ministry of Railways and IMD and contains all the rainfall data required for
estimation of design discharge of 25, 50 and 100 year returns periods by applying
the Synthetic Unit Hydrograph approach, the parameters of which have been
indicated in the above report.

The streams having catchment area less than 25 sq km, IRC-SP-13 has been
referred.
1.4 Hydrological and Hydraulic Studies for Minor Bridges

Design engineers essentially need the design flood of a specific return period for
fixing the waterway vis-a-vis the design HFL of bridges depending upon their size
and importance to ensure safety as well as economy. IRC: 5-1998, Section – I
General Features of Design specify that the waterway of a bridge is to be
designed for a maximum flood discharge of 50 years return period. But as per the
recent guidelines of IRC published in 2014, it is clearly mentioned that the bridges
have to be designed for a flood corresponding to 100 years return period. The
same guideline has been considered for the three minor bridges in this report.

The Detail of the minor bridge is shown in Table 1:

Motor Road in the State of Uttarakhand

The following methods have been used to estimate the peak discharge and HFL
for the minor bridge sites:
 Rational Method
 Area Velocity Method
 HEC – RAS Computations

Synthetic Unit Hydrograph Method has not been used as the catchment area up to
the bridge site is less than 25 sq. km.

These methods have been discussed in detail and Design discharge (peak run-off)
is estimated for three minor bridges as indicated below in subhead of Hydrological
Aspect and Hydraulic Aspect.

1.4.1 Hydrological & Hydraulic Design Aspect

a. Estimation of Input Data for Hydrological Analysis

Catchment Area, length of critical point to the structure and slope of fall in river from
critical point to structure along with rainfall data is required for estimation of design
discharge.

Length of critical point to structure and slope of fall in river from critical point is also
measured. 24 hr rainfall for 100 yr return period is taken from CWC Flood Estimation
Report for Western Himalayas sub zone 7.
The plot of catchment area on topographic map for each bridge is enclosed in the
report and the calculated catchment area for the bridge is shown below under Table
2.

b. Rational Method
Q= 0.028 x P x f x A x IC
Where:
Q = Maximum runoff in cumecs
A = Catchment area in hectares
Ic = Critical intensity of rainfall in cm/ hr.
P = Coefficient of run-off for the given catchment characteristics.
f = Spread factor for converting point rainfall into area mean rainfall.
Ic = (F/T)*(T+1) / (Tc+1)
F = Total Rainfall of T hours duration (24 hrs.) in cm, corresponding to 100
yrs return period.
T = Duration of total rainfall (F) in hours= 24 hrs.
Tc = Time of concentration in hour.

Time of concentration

Times of concentrations (Tc) are determined on the basis of stream lengths (Lc)
and shape of catchment as well as from terrain slope and cover conditions from
the toposheets as well as hydrological survey data of stream. The values are found
both by Dicken’s (Empirical) formulae as well as from time of travel from furthest
point of catchment as follows:

Dicken’s formula

Tc = [0.87(L3/H)] 0.385

Where L is the length of catchment in km and H is the elevation difference in meter


in length L.

The value of runoff coefficient (P) depends on porosity of soil, area, size and shape
of the catchment, vegetation cover, surface storage viz. existence of lakes and

6
Hydrology Report for Minor Bridge over Adena Gadera River at km 5 of Gadoliya-Pilkhi-Ghansali
Motor Road in the State of Uttarakhand

marshes and initial state of wetness of the soil. As per IRC: SP 13-2004, the value
of P may be taken from the formula given in following Table 3.

Table 3: Runoff Coefficient (P)


Catchment Characteristics P
Steep, bare rock and also city pavements 0.90
Rock, steep but wooded 0.80
Plateaus, lightly covered 0.70
Clayey soils, stiff and bare 0.60
Clayey Soils, lightly covered 0.50
Loam, lightly cultivated or covered 0.40
Loam, largely cultivated 0.30
Sandy soil, light growth 0.20
Sandy soil covered, heavy brush 0.10

The value of ‘f’ depends on the catchment area and has been taken from the Figure
4.2 given in IRC: SP 13-2004.
Thus after calculating the above parameters, the 100-year return period peak
discharge has been calculated using the formula as given above and has been
presented under respective Minor bridge Annexures. The summary of the
discharge from rationale method has been given at Table 4.

c. Area Velocity Method


This method has been utilized to calculate the discharge from the stream cross
section and stream slope/bed slope at the proposed bridge sites, for bridges. After
plotting the cross section of the river, and marking the observed HFL, the cross
sectional area (A) and wetted perimeter (P) have been computed. In the absence of

the flood slope of the stream, the bed slope of the river has been estimated along its
length.
The velocity and Discharge have been calculated using the Manning's formula:

V = 1/n * R2/3 * S1/2

Q=AxV

Where,
V = Velocity in m/sec;
R = Hydraulic mean depth in m
S = Flood slope/bed slope
n = Co-efficient of rugosity
Q = Peak Discharge
A = Area of cross section
The value of 'n' has been adopted as per soil criteria and river bed characteristics,
observed at site and are based on Table 3 in IRC SP-13 which has been tabulated
below.

The area velocity method has been adopted for all the three minor bridges and the
summary of the discharge values has been presented under Table 5.
Table 5: Discharge Using Area Velocity Method

The discharge computed using Area velocity method has been discarded on account
of impractical discharge through the river. Discharge if 1651 cumecs is not feasible
for such type of river/nala.

1.4.2 Afflux Calculation


Since some of the bridges in the alignment have less clear waterway as compared
to natural stream width and also velocities at bridge sites are high due to steep bed
slopes, this combined effect causes afflux at bridge sites during flood. Afflux for the
bridges has been calculated using Weir and Orifice formulae as described in IRC
SP-13-2004.
Weir formula:
3/ 2
 u2 
Q  1.706CW L  Du   (5)
 2g 

Q = Discharge in cumecs

L = Linear effective clear waterway in meter under the bridge normal to channel
axis.

9
Hydrology Report for Minor Bridge over Adena Gadera River at km 5 of Gadoliya-Pilkhi-Ghansali
Motor Road in the State of Uttarakhand

Du = Average depth of flow at upstream in meter measured above a datum


usually taken as reduced invert level of bridge

u = Velocity of approach in m/sec.

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/sec2.

Cw = Coefficient of discharge over weir, which may be taken as under as per IRC:
SP-13 as follows:

Type of Bridge opening Value of Cw


Narrow bridge opening with or without floors: 0.94
Wide bridge opening without floor: 0.96
Wide bridge opening with no bed floor: 0.98
u has been calculated using the relation
u = Q/(Du *W) = Q/Au (6)
Where:
W = Width of channel at upstream section and Au is the cross section of flow
upstream.

The above formula is valid when the weir flows freely depending on afflux (h) given
by

h = (Du- Dd) = (U/S H.F.L. – D/S HFL) (7)

Where Du and Dd are the depths of flow upstream and d/s of the bridge measured
above a given datum usually taken as the bed level of the stream. Weir equation
is applicable only when h/Dd ≥ 0.25.

Orifice formula:

 u2 
Q  C o 2 gLDd h  (1  e)  (8)
 2g 

h = Afflux = (Du – Dd) (9)


Co and e are coefficients to account for losses of head and recovery respectively.

10
Hydrology Report for Minor Bridge over Adena Gadera River at km 5 of Gadoliya-Pilkhi-Ghansali
Motor Road in the State of Uttarakhand

Values of e and Co are taken from Fig 14 and Fig 15 of IRC-SP13, respectively.
In all the cases, energy head in terms of recovery has been neglected.

The above formula is valid for h < ¼ Dd

The summary of the afflux values has been presented under Table 7.

Table 7: Afflux Value

1.5 Scour Depth


Various hydraulic parameters e.g. HFL, normal waterway, normal depth of scour
under bridges, Maximum scour level at bridge piers and abutments, Froude’s
number of flow (for scoured waterway under bridges), fluming ratio, afflux etc, are
computed.

Scour Depth

Lacey’s equation is adopted for estimating normal scour depth as per IRC: 5 2014.

R = 1.34 (q2/f) 1/3

Where R is the Lacey’s regime scour depth, measured below HFL, q is the design
discharge intensity under bridge in cumecs per meter and f is silt factor given by the
equation

f= 1.76 (d50)1/2

Where d50 is the mean sediment size in mm. Normal scour depth based on Lacey’s
equation and the actual observed depth (equal to the difference between HFL and
LBL)/1.27 are compared as per code. Higher of the two values is adopted for design.
Silt factor ‘f’ is found from Lacey’s equation corresponding to d 50 size of bed
materials. Maximum scour level for pier and abutment are calculated using a factor
of safety of 2 and 1.27, respectively as per IRC: Code-5. For computing scour depth,
design discharge is enhanced by 30% to provide for adequate margin of safety as
per provision of IRC: 78 - 2000. The scour depth calculations based upon the silt

factor as per surface bed material, are given at the respective Minor Bridge
Annexures (refer Annexure 1 to 2).
