Analysis of The Flood Flow Rate In Karpuz Basin in Antalya, Turkey
Abstract
Flood disaster occurs when there is more water in the riverbed than its capacity, and results in loss of life and other damage. Therefore, the determination of flood flow rates is very important
to reduce the effects that may occur after the flood. To prevent flood damages economically with engineering structures, it is necessary to examine floods and to determine the recurrence time and size. Flood flow calculations are a project process in which many parameters vary on each basin modeled, which causes very different results to occur even in a single parameter within many methods. Flow gauging station or improved empirical methods are used to calculate flood flow magnitude. There is more than one method in the flood calculation. Each method has different assumptions according to basin characteristics. In this study, analysis of the flood flow rate using DSI Synthetic, Mockus and Regional Frequency Analysis methods in Karpuz basin in Antalya. Netcad / NETHYDRO software module was used in the analysis and model design phases of the study. As a result of the comparisons, it was seen that the DSI Synthetic method, where the increment flows were calculated, gave greater flow values than the Mockus method and Regional Frequency.
