There is lack of codal and engineering practices to consider the rain mixed snowmelt induced flood flows for the design discharge in deciding hydrologic/hydraulic features of road/ highway bridges, resulting in varying degree of damages to structures and traffic movement. Synthetic unit hydrograph and watershed models are not suited to get reliable peak flood of numerous un-gauged catchments for concerned structures. The paper presents the methodology to consider the probable effective snowmelt and intensity collectively at desired return periods. Instead of neglecting the impact of meltflow or just enhancing the design discharge by 10%, five options of peak runoff generating catchment criteria due to probable rain and/or snowmelt have been envisaged having rainfall intensity on time of... view moreĀ»
