| Summary: | Use of empirical equations or methods are often used in the field of hydrology and water resources.
Estimation of storm runoff peak is very essential for hydrologists, civil engineers, drainage design, water
resources management and many other usages. Cost of the design and construction also depends on the
accuracy of the estimation of peak flows. On the other hand, it is not easy to calculate the storm runoff peak
flow with good reliability, as the accuracy depends on the types of data. The most commonly used Rational
Method is already a century old method. The other methods are either old or catchment dependent. As such,
there is a need to conduct more research to come up with new empirical methods that can take the advantage
of internet of things (IoT), including the free information available in the digital media. The new method
would also help design the drainage system more efficiently for the sustainable management of stormwater
from urban and rural areas. Therefore, the main objective of this paper was to review the empirical equations
published in the literature. More than 20 equations and methods are reported in various literature, many of
them are suitable for specific catchment as those are developed based on the local data of those areas. The
suitability, advantages and disadvantages of the equations and methods are also reviewed and commented
in this paper. |
