Abstract:This chapter describes how long-term precipitation and infiltration records were developed for use in the performance evaluation of a proposed regional drainage tunnel shared by the cities of Detroit and Dearborn, Michigan. The precipitation record includes homly precipitation data (rainfall plus snowfall) plus a calculation tor snowmelt. Methodologies were applied to this record to develop 36 y of rainfall and snowfall plus snowmelt at 15-min intervals. Infiltration parameters are varied monthly based on long… Show more
