1 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. LID Hydrology and Hydraulics Doug Beyerlein, P.E. Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. www.clearcreeksolutions.com

2 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. LID Hydrology and Hydraulics Modeling There is nothing magical about LIDs. Water must go somewhere. Water must either: 1. 1.Infiltrate into the soil. 2. 2.Evaporate/transpire into the atmosphere. 3. 3.Runoff.

3 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Why LID Hydrology and Hydraulics Modeling? Effects of land use change on stormwater runoff:   Less infiltration and evapotranspiration   More surface runoff (increased volume)   Runoff leaves the site faster (increased peak flows)   Runoff occurs more often (increased duration)   Runoff conveyed directly to creek (increased connectivity)

4 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Why Modeling? We use modeling to quantify the hydrologic impacts of LIDs in terms of: (1) Frequency (2) Duration (3) Volume

5 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Frequency Frequency is the probability of a certain size event occurring:   2-year (50% probability)   5-year (20%)   10-year (10%)   25-year (4%)   50-year (2%)   100-year (1%)

6 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Frequency Traditionally we have used single-event design storms to size facilities based on frequency. Design storm assumption: 25-year rainfall causes 25-year flood.

7 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Single-event design storm methodology doesn’t work for LID modeling because:  Single-event flow frequency standards are based on inappropriate assumptions.  Single-event modeling does not compute flow durations for hydromod requirements (flow duration is the percent of time flows exceed a specific value).  Single-event modeling does not include the long- term effects of evapotranspiration.

8 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Duration Flow Duration Analysis: Percent of time the flow exceeds a specific flow value.

9 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Durations Hydromod flow duration standard: based on erosive flows. Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda counties: 10% of 2-yr to 10-yr

10 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Durations Hydromod flow duration standard: based on erosive flows. San Diego County: 20% of 5-yr to 10-yr

11 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Volume Annual runoff volume reduction due to increased infiltration and evapotranspiration.

12 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. Accurate simulation of LID hydrology requires continuous simulation modeling Represent all of the components of the hydrologic cycle. Include a full range of soil, vegetation, and topographic conditions. Reproduce observed streamflow for both small and large drainages. Use long-term local hourly precip to generate long-term hourly runoff.

13 Clear Creek Solutions, Inc. LID Hydraulics Represents all conveyance systems, including LIDs. Routes runoff using linear reservoir routing. Represents conveyance systems with a table of stage- storage-discharge values (BAHM SSD Table or HSPF FTABLE). Includes rainfall and evaporation on open water surfaces. Includes infiltration (if turned on by user)
