  • Hydrological Analysis of the Catchment Area of Dhap Dam
    Bulletin of Nepal Hydrogeological Association, Vol. 5, September 2020 Singh JL, Subedi NP, 2020 Hydrological analysis of the catchment area of Dhap Dam Jaya Laxmi Singh1* and Narayan Prasad Subedi1 1 Project Implementation Irrigation Unit (PIIU), Bagmati River Basin Improvement Project (BRBIP), Guheswori, Kathmandu *Corresponding e-mail: [email protected] Received: 22 April 2020/Accepted: 4 September 2020 ABSTRACT Indeed, the hydrological investigation is the preliminary study, essentially a part of civil construction to be conducted before planning and designing of the hydraulic structure. Quantification of reservoir release requires a reliable estimate of hydrological data. Additionally, estimating flood frequency discharge is essential for economic planning and safe design. The present study is based on the rainwater harvesting project of Dhap dam. Due to certain limitations of the catchment (ungauged), direct measurements of hydrological parameters are not available. The study has adopted available rainfall data recorded (Nagarkot, Kathmandu airport and Sundarijal) in the Department of hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) near the project to determine the hydrological parameters at the project site. The project catchment lies within the Bagmati River Basin of Shivpuri Nagarjun National Park (SNNP). The catchment is located in Kathmandu district, Central Development Region of Nepal. The catchment area of the project is 0.8 Km2. This is about 4.9% of the mother catchment area concerning the Sundarijal gauging station. This study focused carrying out of necessary hydrological investigations, such as estimation of Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP), Probable Maximum Flood (PMF), design flood hydrographs corresponding to storm events with different return periods (2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 1000 and 1000) years using log domain.
