4.3.4 Computation of Peak Flood Discharge
In order to compute the peak flood discharge at the proposed bridge site on Dattakicha
Khola at Jumka Bazar, cross section survey at an interval of 100m, upstream and
downstream of the bridge axis have been surveyed out along with the flood marks during
the field survey with its plan. Based on the catchment area and the metrological data of
neighborhood station, the computation of the peak flood by various methods are
presented in Table-5.

4.3.5 Development of Rating Curve
For developing the rating curves at the proposed bridge site, the corresponding discharge
at different elevations are determined by using FLOWMASTER software which also
determine the cross-sectional area, wetted perimeter and hydraulic radius.
By using the above data rating curve for Dattakicha Khola at purposed bridge site is
determined after plotting the elevation verses discharge. The values are presented in
Table-6 and the rating curve is shown in fig 1.2.

4.4 Recommended Design Discharge and the corresponding level
The comparison of the design discharges obtained from two methods described in section
4.3.4 are nearly close, where as the discharge obtained by rational is higher than the
others. However rational method is highly applicable for the catchments having area less
than 50 Km

. The Dattakicha Khola is a rainfed, intermittent river and discharge in this
river are contributed mainly due to surface runoff. WECS/DHM method was developed

Hydrological Analysis of Dattakicha Khola, Sunsari
from the analysis of the stream gauge data and it is very much reliable for the estimation
of the peak flood discharge.
Discharge predicted from Dickens methods is close to that obtained from WECS/DHM
method and has been considered as design discharge. Hence, for the present study the
result from WECS/DHM method has been considered as design flood and the value has
been taken for further analysis. The 50 yrs and 100 yrs peak flood for Dattakicha Khola
at Jumka Bazar bridge site was 132.938 and 159.999 m
3
/sec respectively. The
conveyance capacity of the river around bridge axis was found low and hence it is
necessary to increase conveyance capacity through various river training works like
construction of levees, guide bund, channel modifications etc. in order to pass the design
discharge safely.
4.5 Calculation of Linear Waterway
The river at the proposed bridge site is in regime condition and water way width at 100
years return period is about 60 m.
However it is proposed that the bridge width be limited to 25 m.The water way
should be confined to 25 m by providing the levees, guide bund etc.at the existing
bank.
4.6 Afflux and Vertical Clearance
The afflux is calculated from Molesworth formula below
H = (V
2
/17.88+0.015)*((A/a)
2
1))
Where, V= normal velocity of flow; = 1.98 m/sec
A= unrestricted water way area in m
2
= 80.65 m
2
(i.e. Area corresponding to peak discharge = 159.999 m
3
/s and HFL = 101.18 m)
a = restricted waterway area in m
2
= 66.91 m
2
(i.e. Restricted area corresponding to the sectional width = 25 m)
H = ((1.98
2
)/17.88+ 0.015)*((80.65/66.91)
2
1) = 0.106 m
Level of afflux HFL = 101.18 m+0.106 m= 101.286 m
But this is higher than the HFL indicated by the local people at site.
According to IRC-1985, cl 1062.1, for discharge 262.387 m
3
/sec, vertical clearance
should be minimum 1500 mm.
So, the minimum level of bearing = 101.286+1.5 = 102.786 m
4.7 Scour Depth Calculation

Hydrological Analysis of Dattakicha Khola, Sunsari
Mean water way width = 60 m
Mean channel width provided = 25 m
A) According to IRC Special Publication 13,
Normal Scour depth for quasi alluvial stream =D=0.473(Q/f)
0.33
Where, Q = Discharge in m
3
/sec = 159.999 m
3
/s
f = Silt factor =2.0
D = 0.473*(159.999/2)
0.33
= 2.00 m from HFL
Scour depth after contraction D =2.00*(60/25)
0.61
= 3.41 m
Maximum scour depth for abutment = 1.27*3.41 = 4.33 m from HFL
